**Other Miscellaneous Information...

• Schoolnotes is a tool we use on the Team to help parents feel connected to the school, and to give students a snapshot of their academic week.  Please register your email to receive notification of site updates.  Also, for school wide information, sign up for the Doherty ListServ at http://www.aps1.net/ListServ/list_serv.htm.  Thanks!
• Meetings - If you'd like to request a meeting with team teachers at any point in the year, please be in touch with Mrs. Paula Parker (Team Leader) by email.  Parent meetings are typically offered on Mondays at 1:20 and Wednesdays at 8:00. 
• The Schedule- This can be tough for students and parents new to middle school to master.  On 6B, we have block classes Monday - Thursday.  On a regular 5 day week, students have two of their four academic team classes on each of those days, with 4 shorter classes on Friday. Students are assigned class groups by letter (A,B,C,D).  It can effect homework routines and time management, and we do talk quite a bit how to best use this schedule to the student's advantage.   
  • i.e. MONDAY: A,B
  •    TUESDAY: C,D
  • WEDNESDAY: B,A
  •   THURSDAY: D,C
  •       FRIDAY: A,B,C,D
