6th Grade Updates - 10/18/2026

Greetings Pioneers!

I was so impressed and proud of the team spirit and respect our players, students, and families demonstrated during Friday's soccer game! Even with the weather delays, our kids were awesome, patient, and such good sports.

We continue to review CLASS expectations, especially as it relates to walking in the halls and getting to class on time. As Pioneers with CLASS, one thing we can all work towards is to "see something, say something."

Our field trip is schedule for December 1st to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly! We will visit from 10-12 and I am seeking chaperones for this trip. Please complete this volunteer application form and return it back to school. If you need a paper copy sent home, please email me directly.

Thank you all you are doing at home to help support your child. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out!
