Please Bring Back Your Welcome Packets

It is very important that every student bring back their signed papers that were included in the Welcome Packet that was sent home the first day of school.

In this packet was our district's Acceptable Use Policy for Computer Use both in and outside of the classroom. We will be doing projects in the lab on a regular basis and we would like for everyone to be able to participate. Our first project is scheduled for this week. Students will be making and illustrating a lab safety poster that will hung in the sixth grade science lab.

Welcome Back to a New School Year

We are very excited for this year and the changes to our grade level. In order to prepare students for a middle school environment, we are now departmentalized which means I will have four classes of science. Students will now have a teacher in Science, Math, Social Studies/Writing, and ELA.

Our Sixth Grade Teachers are:
Mrs. Hitzel - Math
Mr. Rocha - Science/Math
Ms. Leibert - Writing/Social Studies
Ms. Gordon - ELA

We are looking forward to a great year.

Sixth Grade Semester Exs

I just wanted to let you know that semester exams start next week. Please remind your child to be reviewing each night. The exam will count as 1/7 of the course grade.

Sixth Grade Dance

This Friday is the Sixth Grade Dance. The cost is $6.00 per ticket which includes a t-shirt, admission to the dance, and food. As always, we will have a great DJ and students will be able to make some great memories in their last days as a student at QVE.

Math Test this Monday

This Monday students will be taking their last major math grade besides the final. Students will be tested over multiplying and dividing fractions. Students will have an opportunity to work on a study guide on Friday and the remainder will be sent home in the form of a worksheet. This would be a great opportunity for students to boost their grades before final exams.

Please note: I have put tutorials to help students work out problems for the upcoming test on the Math Tutorials tab of this blog. It would be a great idea for parents and students to check these out to refresh your memory on how to work these problems out before Monday.
