What to
expect at Haines
H
Harmony
is a theme with the blending of five elementary schools into one
student body, creating an atmosphere that is tailored to this grade,
age and interests. Our concept of four teams allows teachers to focus
more on individuals in small learning communities. The teachers will
know each child not only as a learner but also as a person.
A
Academic Program
with
four core subjects (Language Arts Literacy, Mathematics, Social
Studies and Science) enhanced by exploratory areas of art, music, gym,
health and Spanish. Academics are rigorous and engaging. Our teachers
are specialists in their subject and are very knowledgeable and
enthusiastic about the content the students are learning.
I
Integration of technology
is
prevalent in the classrooms at Haines. Promethean boards are in every
academic room. This interactive white board enables teachers to create
dynamic lessons. Flip Charts and Quiz Pods will become part of the
student's learning experiences. This multi-media experience we know is
something the students enjoy!
N
New teachers, new friends and new subjects
are
all a part of the transition that the staff is prepared to assist
students as they navigate these areas. Team building in the
opening days of school, allow students to interact with classmates in
a fun atmosphere. The teachers guide students through the differences
in a middle school and model successful strategies like study skills
and organizational methods.
E
Extracurricular activities
are
abundant. Student might chose something new or maybe continue
with an already established favorite hobby/interest. There are plenty
of opportunities to get involved.
S
Success!
These
letters help to give you a taste of what Haines Sixth Grade Center is
all about. But… the biggest part of what Haines is about is STUDENTS!
