Welcome to Sixth Grade!

We are super excited to begin the 2025-2026 school year with you. As we embark on a new experience in 6th grade, our goal is to encourage and support happy, healthy, and successful learners. Fostering a classroom environment of inclusion and respect for all is our primary focus. While promoting an atmosphere that is thoughtful and engaging is important, what matters the most is collaborating with our families, and centering our work around each child’s strengths and needs.

Throughout the year, students will have the opportunity to participate in team-building, problem-solving, and discovery tasks through vigorous and meaningful learning activities.

As students slowly become acclimated back to school, it is imperative that each child feels safe, and their transition is smooth. We anticipate a rewarding school year as we partner with you in support of our phenomenal students.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and partnership.

Welcome to the 2025-2026 Physical Education school year!

I am looking forward to another great school year. Physical Education is part of school in which learning experiences are provided through motor movement. Please make sure your 5th -8th grade students wear the Physical Education uniform to school on the days they have P.E. Wearing the uniform is important because it allows students the ability to move around freely and helps teach them hygiene. The P.E. uniform is as follows: sneakers, navy blue or grey sweatpants and the grey school t-shirt (which can be purchased from the school website) or a plain white, grey or navy blue t-shirt. 
 
Thanks, 
Ms. Gilliland, Physical & Health Education
