to Middle School
When
you first set foot on Campus 'La Huasteca', you will undoubtedly
and immediately be impressed by the unequaled level of
cooperation that exists among the teachers that comprise
the award-winning Grade Six Team.
The school,
of course, encourages this in all the Teams and Departments;
however, the teachers in the B wing are renowned for their
almost legendary ability to work and succeed together.
As a
cohesive Team, we are proud of many things:
- We
believe that a crucial aspect of a successful Grade Six
generation is the ability of the Team to establish clear
expectations for ourselves and our students.
- We
take pride in our ability to share resources, information,
talents, opinion and, yes, even snacks for our breaks!
- The
Grade Six Team keeps an open line of communication with
parents through a variety of media. These include our
school's web site, PowerSchool, the 'agenda', phone
calls, personal notes, parent/teacher conferences, and
others.
Whether
you are a teacher, a student, a parent or an administrator,
welcome to Grade Six at 'La Huasteca'.
Here
we make a difference!
