  8. WHAT THE DAY LOOKS LIKE • Students should plan to arrive at school by 7:35. They begin their day in TA at 7:50. TA groups are between 12-15 students. The focus of TA is team building, organizational support and social emotional learning. • Sixth graders have five core periods: American Studies, English, Math, Science, Reading or Reading/Transitional Spanish.

  9. In the remaining two periods of the day, students will take one period of Health/PE and one period of an elective/exploratory course. • Students selecting the exploratory will spend 6-7 weeks in a rotation that could include Art, Theater Arts, Technical Education, Family and Consumer Science, Keyboarding and Chorus. • Students who play a musical instrument or would like to start one, select band or orchestra for the elective/exploratory period.

  11. After School Activates • Are on Mon, Tue, and Thu in ASP (After School Period) 1 & 2 • Clubs, sports, and after school academic help take place during ASP 1 from 2:30-4:05. Students who take the late bus at 4:15.

  12. There are two levels of sports activities, intramural and interscholastic. • To participate in interscholastic sports, students must have a current physical on file with the Activities Coordinator. The physical must take place after May 1 to cover all sports for the next year (this aligns with the high school schedule). • Intramural sports do not require a physical.
