“Let go of the past and go for the future. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you imagined.”
~Henry David Thoreau

Welcome to
Mrs. Mahar’s Class

Dear 6th Grade Parent or Guardian,
I am looking forward to another
exciting, challenging and fun school
year. It is my belief that positive
interaction between teacher and parent
strengthens the feeling of support all
children need for success in school. I am
available to answer questions and
concerns you may have throughout the
year. You can reach me by phone during
my prep 2nd hour, or leave a voicemail
message. You can also reach me by
e-mail, which is the quickest way for me
to respond during the day.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Mahar

Turn your assignments in on time and be sure to study and review for quizzes and tests, check our website for updated information!

Classroom Procedures
Students are to be prepared for class upon entering the classroom. This means that they must have their folders, pencils, assignments and agenda book with them at the start of class.
Class Grading Policy:
*80% of grade based on assessments
*20% class assignments and homework
Students are to have assignments out on their desk at the beginning of the hour to be checked or collected.
Students are to pay attention, take notes and copy board work and examples from class.
Students are to record their homework in their agenda book before the end of class.
Students are to keep all completed and returned assignments for a particular chapter or unit in their folder or binder. It will be helpful to have material in one place to study for quizzes and tests.
Assignments should be completed in pencil or black or blue ink.
Work should be completed neatly and with the student’s best effort.
It is important that students finish their work in and out of class. They are expected to turn in all work on time! Student progress will be assessed on a point basis and reflected in his/her: homework and class work, direct observation, projects, quiz scores and test scores.
Please sign up to use Power Parent and use it to stay informed about your child’s assignments and grades (see the office for more information).
Social Studies
To support classroom instruction we use the textbook Western World published by Holt, Reinhart and Winston.
Students will not be issued a hard copy of the book since only a class set is available.
Students will however, be given a password to access online use to the textbook from any computer with internet access or may check-out a book.
To access the website, type my.hrw.com into Google and you will see the link to the textbook,
