How To Survive 6th Grade
A Guide From A Former 6th Grader
Welcome To 6th Grade!
Welcome To Your Brand New Life At Hickory Hills! Today, Me, A Former 6th Grader, Will Teach You Some Tricks I Learned And Kept Up My Sleeve. I Know That You Might Think 6th Grade Is Scary For The First Couple Of Days, But Trust Me, You'll Have A Blast! I Will Teach You The Basics Of This Amazing School And How It Will Work For The Rest Of Your 6th Grade Year; Lets Get This Show Started!
Lockers: How To Open Them
Ah lockers, they keep your things safe and enclosed, but how do you open them? What you must do first is start on the zero, that resets the whole combination from before. Go to your first designated number and then, this is important, pass the second number once, and the second time around, stop on it. Just think of the third one like your first one, and hopefully your locker will open!
Getting To Class On Time
From my experience of 6th grade, you must be in class on time. If you don't make it to class before the tardy bell rings, that would mean you're late for class and have to be walked in by a teacher scanning the hallways for lingering ,lost students. I have a tip for you, don't get into a clique in the hallway, nor get one started. If you stand in the middle of the hallway chattering it up, you and your friends have the potential to be late for class.
How The Schedule Works
The schedules at Hickory Hills are basic, like any other middle school; it consists of normal classes like math or reading, but you switch between P.E and art every two quarters.
The Strike System
Don't you hate it when those annoying kids in your class keeps you behind because he or she forgot to do their work, or even is being disrespectful? Well, at Hickory Hills we have a solution for that, the Strike System! You start out with zero strikes, but once you forget an assignment or get caught doing something, you have one strike. You can get ten of these, but that's it, ten or more strikes, you're out. So remember, be a good student and don't forget about your assignments!
Chromebooks
We are an IGNITE school, which means we have the opportunity to have Chromebooks! Chromebooks are used for educational purposes, not for games. If you are allowed to have an expensive device, that means you must care for it. In the link below, it shows how to care for your Chromebook.
