Hello & Welcome!

Weekly updates can be found in the menu on the left depending what you want to know: 

                              *Announcements  = general information about school that applies to 6th graders 
                              *6 Math = Lesson Plans & Assignments 
                              *6 Language Arts = Lesson Plans & Assignments 

Every Monday/the first day of the week we have homeroom your child will fill out their provided planners with grades and missing work to make sure they are staying on top of their work in EVERY class. During that time, my homeroom students need to get their planners signed by me before they leave and will bring it home to show you. I will not expect you to sign it, unless your student is consistently behind or struggling with grades -- I will then ask that YOU sign it as an accountability/communication tool between you and your child and myself. 

This year, we will also be implementing Standards-Based Grading, students will still receive letter grades A, B, C, D, F -- but they will be assessed on skills in the standards and you will see number 4, 3, 2, 1 more frequently when given feedback about what your children learns.  I have syllabi upload under the "6 Math" & "6 Language Arts" files, which layout what the numbers mean and how they relate to a letter grade.  Here is also a great article about the difference of the grading systems: Traditional Grading Systems vs. Standards-based Grading Systems.

Just a reminder anything your child will need is in the top bar of the website under "Student Resources".

 Most of their assignments will be found on Schoology or here. 

If you have any comments or questions, don’t hesitate to contact me by email: kscheck@lewalt.k12.mn.us

Sincerely,
Mrs. Scheck
