Dear Grade 6 GCS Family,
Thank you for sending your student prepared and excited for school this week. We had a great first week and got started on some of our course content.
This upcoming week students will experience a normal schedule and be able to start the remainder of their classes.
Math Practice Expectations:
Every school day (except test days) students will be given math practice questions to do. These questions will be in their yellow Abeka arithmetic books. Students are expected to complete these questions and self-correct their work the following day. Students will need to take math home if they do not complete it in class time. I appreciate your partnership as your student seeks to learn new math concepts this year!
