Welcome to 6th Grade


http://www.kenton.k12.ny.us/849204594531850/lib/849204594531850/Images/animated%20teacher.gif

 

I hope you all had a great summer and are getting excited to start 6th grade!  This website will be very helpful to you and your parents/guardians throughout the school year.  You will find much information here on a weekly basis!

 

Sixth grade is a transition year. While making the move to middle school, many parents will give you more independence. Teachers will also begin to expect you to take more responsibility for your own work. This is the time to build good habits that will lead to success in high school and beyond.
