Daily Schedule
Students start their day in our homeroom. After prayer and announcements they head off to the first two classes of the day with their textbooks and binder.  After break and lunch students exchange their books for the next set of books so they never have to carry more than 2 textbooks at a time.

Homework
On average, 6th graders have 60 – 90 minutes of homework a night.  Students are expected to record their homework in their Homework Planner throughout the day.  If absent please check Ms. Sullivan’s webpage for all homework assignments. Students are expected to make up the work and will need to speak to each teacher to finalize a new due date.
If your child has spent about 30 minutes on a subject initial the work and give them permission to move onto the next assignment. If your child is consistently spending longer please email me.

Snack and Lunch
Students eat snack at 10:00a.m. and lunch at 12:15p.m..  In order to focus during class please remind your child to pack nutritious foods and a water bottle.
Order hot lunch here!

Cell Phones
Cell phones may be brought to school if the Cell Phone Contract has been filled out. Phones should be powered down and placed in the cell phone bin in our homeroom by 8:20a.m.

Service Projects
6th graders are active in our community! We partner with Westside Baby. Student will go on a field trip to see the impact donations and this organization have on families in need.
6th graders help with the Blessing of the Backpacks Mass in September, collecting food for Broadview Thompson Elementary, and also lead the annual school Food Drive in November benefiting St. Vincent de Paul.

Crossing Guard Duty
6th graders give back to our school community by serving as crossing guards before school, 8:05-8:20a.m., or after school, 3:00-3:15p.m.  Students are assigned duty a week at a time.  Each student is responsible for finding a substitute if s/he is absent for any reason.

Environmental Camp
Date: Mid-May
All 6th graders attend Camp Hamilton for 3 days.  Ms. Sullivan leads this field trip. Information, including cost, will be discussed at the parent information evening in March. Chaperones are needed!

Birthdays
We love birthdays! Each student receives a handmade card signed by everyone in our homeroom. Please do not send treats.
