About Sixth Grade 

Sixth grade is an exciting time of transitions for students and parents. At First Flight Middle School, our sixth grade team of teachers works to assist with making a smooth transition from elementary school to middle school. We aim to keep all learners and engaged while promoting positive communication and parent involvement in striving to help all students gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to achieve their middle school goals.

Sixth Grade Facts

• Students will attend four core classes and two exploratory classes.
• Throughout the year, students will take several formative assessments to track progress and give teachers opportunities to provide interventions as needed.
• Students will take the Math and Reading EOGs at the end of the year.
• EOGs will count 20% of each student's final grade.
• Scores are part of the process used in determining the following year's courses.
• Students will not be using lockers.
  • Locker-use often leads to heightened disorganization, social conflicts, and issues with time management.
• Students will sit by class in the cafeteria. Once routines are established, they may earn free seating.
• Phones must be turned off and placed in backpacks during the school day.
