Success in 6th GRADE
Description
Transitioning from elementary to The Junior School is a big leap—but it can also be an exciting adventure! This summer course is designed specifically for incoming 6th graders to help them feel confident, prepared, and ready to thrive on day one.

Taught by AHJS Wellness Counselor, Lisa Lucas, Success in 6th Grade gives students an inside look at what junior high is really like—before the school year even begins! Throughout the course, students will explore everything they need to know, including how to navigate lockers, understand bell schedules, and get familiar with both core and elective classes. They’ll also learn about lunchtime routines (including the “lunch bunch”), extracurricular opportunities, managing homework, and using technology effectively.

But that’s not all—this class is hands-on and full of fun! Students will:

Receive a customized pencil case to keep all their supplies ready for 6th grade

Gain exclusive access to a Google Classroom filled with important tips, resources, and information to support them throughout their first year

Dive deeper into Google Classroom, learning helpful features and tricks to stay on top of assignments

Students will also enjoy a full campus tour, meet key staff members, and start building friendships with future classmates—all in a welcoming, supportive environment. Ms. Lucas brings her expertise in wellness to make each day interactive, engaging, and centered around helping students feel confident and connected.

Join us for a summer full of excitement, growth, and preparation for the year ahead at Heights—we can’t wait to meet you!
