Sixth grade is a pivotal time for our students as they prepare for the challenges of Junior High School. Our task is to get them ready for this transition.

In addition, we will be working hard to get all students to be able to:
Effectively communicate through listening, speaking, and writing

Have the ability to integrate knowledge across disciplines
Read with understanding
Apply critical and creative thinking to solve problems
Use technology to enhance their learning
The sixth grade instructional team also strives to develop the following personal qualities in their students:
Effective interpersonal skills

Appreciation of the contributions of diverse cultures, groups, and individuals
Social and environmental responsibility
