Welcome to Sixth Grade!

Welcome to Lincoln Sixth Grade! We know that you are having an exciting summer and hope that you are enjoying every moment. We are looking forward to a great year! Classroom assignments will be posted after 4:00pm on Friday, August 16,2024 if you’ve completed your Annual Information Update ONLINE during the summer, July 22nd - August 9th. Back to School packets will be sent home with your child on the first day of school.

Our morning block of time is reserved for writing, reading, spelling, grammar, and math. The afternoon block will include social science, science, geography, music, and PE. Grade level standards as well as procedures and expectations will be covered at Back to School Night Wednesday, August 21, 2024, at 5:15 PM. We hope that all of you will be able to attend. We encourage all parents to stay involved in what is happening here at school any way you can.

Parents are the most important people in a child’s life. With school and home working together, your child will have a successful school year! Please help by filling out the forms sent home on the first day of school and return them as soon as possible.

Because our supply budget will not support all of the activities we have planned for this year, we are seeking the voluntary donation of supplies which your child can utilize throughout the year.

Recommended individual student supplies: •	3-ring binder (1” size)
•	Loose-leaf, lined binder paper (small package to go in the binder) •	6 subject dividers for your binder

We also have needs for “community” supplies which are utilized by all of our students and we would greatly appreciate your voluntary donations of:

•	Boxes of tissues
•	Disinfectant wipes •	Liquid hand soap •	Hand sanitizer
•	Composition books

Your child will be given a planner to record daily assignments, so leave space in the binder for it. We will use the planner every day. Please, NO pencil boxes. The student desks are not big enough with all the textbooks we will use. A large Ziploc bag works best for storing pencils, crayons, etc. Students will be required to cover all textbooks. You may choose to purchase book covers; the largest stretchy kind works well. Otherwise, old fashion brown paper bags work too!

Please allow us to thank you in advance for your support. Your donations allow us to provide your child with additional experiences which will enhance their education. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to the first day of school, Monday, August 19, 2024 at 8:00 AM!

Respectfully yours,

The Sixth Grade Teachers
