Incoming 6th Grade Family Information
Each year CCISD hosts an information session for incoming sixth-grade families. The event occurs in February of the fifth-grade year. Each campus hosts an event. Information about the event is shared at least a couple of weeks in advance. The event dates are listed on the District Calendar. CCISD encourages all families to participate in their campuses' events to learn and ask questions about the upcoming year. Incoming 6th grade students also have the opportunity to tour their new intermediate campuses during the school day.
- In sixth grade, students are required to take language arts, math, science, social studies, health fitness or leadership development corps, and Fine Arts ( options include art, theater arts, band, choir, and orchestra).
- All courses are year-long. While selecting courses a student will mark their first choice and the second and third choices are noted as alternates.
- Health and Fitness is a part of the sixth-grade year. A student who participates in an individual sport outside of school for a minimum of five hours per week may apply for a P.E. waiver.
- Secondary education follows a traditional grading methodology. Grades are averaged for each grading period and the semester. It's based on a 100-point grading scale with a passing standard of 70%.
