Welcome to Sixth Grade Science at Spring Oaks Middle School!

Middle school science will change radically this year!  Each grade will cover a variety of science topics, specifically focusing on a branch of science; 6th grade will focus on Physical Science, 7th grade's focus will be on Life Science and 8th grade will focus on Earth and Space Science.

More specifically, in sixth grade we will cover the following topics in depth:

Make-Ups and Tutorials

Tutorials

 

If you would like to attend tutorials, I am available almost every morning before school - you must let me know what day you are going to be there and I WILL BE THERE! Please have me sign your school planner as this is your pass to be in the hallway before and after school.

 

Make-up Work and Retesting

 

District policy states that for each day a student is out, a day is given to make up the work. Absent students should obtain their work from the “Absent” bin in Ms. Trocchio’s classroom upon returning to class. This is the responsibility of the student!
 
Retesting is encouraged and available at the request of the student. As per Spring Oaks guidelines, it is the responsibility of the student to schedule a retesting date and time with Ms. Trocchio. Retesting times can be scheduled before school, during 6th grade lunch, or after school (except during holidays and teacher duty weeks) by appointment only.
