WHAT IS A TEAM?
• A team is a group of teachers who teach the same group of students.
• All middle school students are randomly assigned to a team.
• The academic classes, lockers, and homerooms of students on each team are usually in close proximity.
• Teams are named by grade and letter, color, etc. such as 6A, 6B, or Team Gold.
• All teams are assigned students of all levels and abilities for the core classes of Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies, with the exception of those who qualify for gifted, high achievers or special education.
Rising 6th graders will take four
academic classes and two connection
classes. Some students may be
assigned to classes off-team.
