Week beginning 10/26/20
6th Grade
Update
Attached is an optional parent homework assignment, Tell Us About your Student in One Million Words or Less. Normally it is pushed out the first day of school, but we thought there was too much going on at the start of distance learning. This is also a great opportunity to let us know how distance learning is going for both you and your student. For those of you who participate, thank you in advance :0)
Attached is the new class schedule for both students in the building at home. Classes are held Mon, Tue, Thr, and Friday. Wednesday is still an independent work day at home.
The Arts Departments are excited to support students as they prepare for Choice Program auditions in February. Two Virtual Audition Prep Workshops are being offered to 5th-7th students who are planning to audition for a middle school seat at Garrison: Wed 10/28 and Thr 11/19, both at 6:00 pm. Please open the attached flyer for details about the Audition Prep Workshops.
