Now Let’s Talk About your Classes!
• You will have freedom to move from classroom during class changes.
• You will have 2 minutes between classes for classes in the 6th grade hall
• You will have 4 minutes between classes for Exploratory classes.
• YOU WILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO GET WHERE YOU NEED TO GO!
Exploratory Classes • Ensure that you are a well rounded
student• Help prepare you for life in the 21st
century• Expose you to things that you may
never experience
How do I know what Exploratory classes I will get?
• The other class in your Exploratory schedule will be randomly generated for you by Infinite Campus.
• Be Patient! You may not get PE , Visual Arts, technology, Business and Careers, or Practical Living this Semester, but you will at some point.
• If you decide to take Band or Choir, you will have that class for at least one period each day of the week.
Academic Goals • Goals are set each Monday or the first school
day of the week• Goals are set during Advisory class • Goals will be checked each week to see how
you have progressed in reaching them• All goals will be SMART Goals
•Specific
•Measurable
•Action-Oriented
•Realistic
•Timely
Physical Activity• We encourage students here at EMS to get at
least 60 minutes of physical activity every day.• You will set a physical Activity goal each week in
Advisory Class• Being physically active does not mean you have to
“play” a Sport.
60 minutes of physical activity each day
doesn’t just improve my health, it makes me
a better student
