Class Schedule
In sixth grade, your child will have a team of two teachers for his/her academic classes instead of just one. The four academic classes consist of: Communications (English/grammar/spelling/reading), Math, Social Studies, and Science. In addition, your child will also have a P.E. teacher and will have the opportunity to have classes with each of the related arts teachers throughout the year. There is one related arts class per nine-weeks (quarter). Your child will find that the busier schedule of a middle school student will make his/her time at school fly by!
Getting organized is the key to success. Your child will receive an AGENDA at the beginning of school. The policies and rules of Paola Middle School are printed in the front. Make sure to familiarize yourself with these. Your child will use the agenda to keep track of lessons and assignments. The agenda is a great tool to help you to build team communication with your child’s teachers. It also allows parents to monitor assignments and due dates.
