Another important issue parents should be aware of is that 6th grade teachers are beginning to keep track of when students are not following directions. If students consistently do not follow directions, or do not take responsibility for school work, they will not be allowed to attend our Victoria field trip nor will they participate in our remaining 6th grade events (Trading Post, track and field, end of the year talent show and BBQ). A student would have to get many strikes to miss out on everything and we will let parents know once a student reaches three or four strikes. It is not fair for those many students who follow directions consistently and keep up with their schoolwork regularly. It's time for our 6th graders to take responsibility for their actions.
