Questions about sixth grade???
Comments(7) | My name is Christopher Teter and I will be the Assistant Principal of the incoming 6th grade class. I will be the grade level principal for the next three years. I know that as a parent myself, there are many questions, fears and anxieties about middle school. I thought it might be helpful for us to begin a conversation about the unique journey we call middle school.
The middle school years are extremely important in the development of your child. So many things transpire in a short amount of time: Academics become more rigorous, the social scene becomes very important and individual students are trying to figure out who and what they want to become. Add adolescence and emotions to all of that and you have = Middle School!!!
We know that there are a million questions about middle school and how it might differ from elementary school. This blog will provide a forum for us to have ongoing conversation about what to expect and what questions you might have as a parent.
There will be a lot of information in the coming months and this blog will be an attempt to answer questions and provide support for the students and nervous parents.
Feel free to ask questions. I am looking forward to beginning our relationship as we spend the next three years together helping our children become young adults!
Thanks for the information.
It was very helpful.
6th grade students have 7 classes, correct?
LA, Math, Sci, SS, FA, Wellness, and what is the 7th class?
Is there a summer reading list/assignment for incoming 6th Graders?
This a great idea. I like that CTMS is getting into the social networking thing so that it can reach more students. I fully support this!
We are so excited to be working with you again Chris, as our oldest son would have never made it through middle school without your dedicated attention. Looking forward to an exciting 6th grade year.
Good to see that there is a forum for open lines of communication btw school and parents. Please keep us posted with information regarding the 6th grade.
Sorry I didn’t get to this one over the summer, but we’ll get back on track here in August!
It would be helpful if the menu could be posted somewhere on the CTMS website.
