WPMS 6th Grade
We inspire learning and empower growth!

December Fun!
Another part of our fun is the Holiday Chain Reaction. This is a class challenge as well as a fundraiser. Students receive paper chain links for donations starting at just ten cents. That's ten links for a dollar! The class with the longest chain at the end of the month will earn a prize. All the money that comes in will be used to provide holiday help to families in need in Teller County.
During our last week of classes, we have TWO fun events planned. We will be walking to the movie theater on Monday, December 19 for a reward trip. Students will have a checklist of goals to complete during the month to be eligible for the trip. We will also have a Panther Day on December 21! More info on that below.
Progress Reports
Next week we will send home progress reports with final enrichment class grades from first trimester. Remember that grades for core classes are not finalized until the end of the year. You can also check grades at any time online. Enrichment and Panther Time grades are updated on Infinite Campus. All other classes are updated on the Summit Learning platform. Reach out to your mentor teacher with any questions about grades!
