Grade

OUR MISSION

The sixth grade team will provide an atmosphere conducive to continuing development of both independent and cooperative learners through team collaboration, support, and communication.

Welcome to Sixth Grade. Sixth grade is a big transition. Students have multiple teachers in multiple classrooms teaching multiple subjects. It can get a bit overwhelming. Throw lockers into the mix and things can be really hectic. This page is designed to help sixth graders get a little more organized.

DMS Homework Hotline Remember the Homework Hotline is updated at the end of the school day!
Remediation If a student fails a test, an opportunity for remediation will be given. The student will be allowed the opportunity to improve their test score to a 66%. A "Remediation Notice" will be sent home and must be completed and returned before credit is given.
Late or Incomplete Work Students are required to turn in all assignments on the assigned dates. Assignments are due at the beginning of the respective class period. Assignments not produced at that time are considered late and a 25% penalty is assessed. Students have until the end of study hall the following school day to turn in the late assignment. No credit will be given for assignments turned in after the deadline.
Social Skills: Being Responsible Using the students’ declaration of ‘being responsible’, we will begin teaching the behavioral expectations for being responsible. Research has shown that introducing, modeling, and reinforcing positive behavior is an important step of a student's educational experience. The team will continue to teach and develop the social skills necessary to ensure student success at Dunlap Middle School. Social Skills Activity: Being Responsible for Classroom Materials

Recently your student participated in an activity during Panther Pride. The students were asked “Why are you here?’ and “What kind of a student will you be when you leave?” They used the information to write a mission statement for the sixth grade. Here is the new sixth grade student mission statement: “The sixth graders of Dunlap Middle School will strive to be successful by being respectful, responsible, optimistic and by doing our best as a team!”			Students are expected to bring all appropriate materials to study hall. Students in band, chorus or orchestra will have limited study hall time. Students will have the opportunity to go to the IRC during study hall.


Full Band on Mondays & Wednesdays Contact Mr. Colgan for specific questions		Full Chorus on Tuesdays & Thursdays Contact Ms. Reece for specific questions		Full Orchestra on Wednesdays & Fridays Contact Miss Keenan for specific questions
