Welcome!
Hello Families,
Due to our current situation and the change in our learning environment, I have made the decision to start a website for our classroom. I understand the difficulty for finding footing in capricious times and I hope that this will alleviate some stress and provide some stability. I also hope that this will allow us to remain communicative during these times.
I will do my best to keep you informed and update the website regularly with new educational resources for your family. I truly miss the kids and I miss being in the classroom with them. It is hard when a schedule is uprooted and I hope that I can help bring comfort by providing you with what you need to help create success in your child.
Suggested Daily Schedule
- MATH→ IXL 30 minutes
- LANGUAGE ARTS→ Read a book for 30 minutes
- MUSIC→ Using Youtube, teach yourself a new song/learn something new

Also, please remember, IXL and Reflex math are two resources that we still have at our school so continue to log on and proceed to practice SIXTH GRADE skills.
REPORT CARD INFORMATION
(From Mr. Weigle's E-mail he sent out to parents)
- Your child’s last marking period grade will be either a “P” = participated or “NP” = did not participate in remote learning. You will see these letters under the last marking period column.
- A “P” or NP” is NOT considered a letter grade. We are not grading remote learning.
- The last marking period WILL NOT BE included in your child’s overall grade for the year. This will include only the marking periods before we began remote learning.
- Your child’s final grade will be the average of the first two trimesters.
- Please continue to make every effort to participate in remote learning through the end of the school year by staying connected to your child’s teacher.
