NISC's Grade 6

NISC's Sixth Grade program is also known as Transitional Grade Six. It is a program designed to successfully transition elementary students into the middle school.

Grade 6 students have one homeroom teacher and specials classes similar to other elementary grades. Yet, it is unique because students are guided through the process of joining the middle school. This includes a transition into letter grades and report cards, the use of lockers, and the following of the block schedule. [SEE below for block schedule details]

The transition includes participation in elementary assemblies and events at the beginning of the school year and then participation in middle school assemblies and events during the second semester. Students in 6th Grade experience lunchtime, sports, dances, and other events with grade 7 and 8 students. This program is designed to elicit success for all 6th graders as they shift from elementary school to middle school.
