The 6th grade partakes in many exciting things this year. Starting with the basics, they will be exposed to a departmental schedule where they will learn to balance four new teachers and their assignments. Lockers and changing classes every period is a new and exciting challenge for the students. Students will continue to partake in our monthly masses.  They will take an active role in the 6th-grade mass as altar servers, readers, and cantors.  In April, sixth graders will take part in the New York State testing program in ELA and Math.  Probably the most memorable event of the sixth grade will be our annual trip to Nature’s Classroom.  This weeklong trip allows the students to learn more about various academic subjects by exploring and doing exciting activities.  Students learn to bond with each other and develop community awareness.
 

The 7th grade experiences many new challenges this year as well as fine-tune many of the skills learned as 6th graders. Seventh graders will continue to balance a departmental schedule and maintain an orderly locker.  Students will continue to partake in our monthly masses as altar servers, readers and cantors.

One of the highlights of 7th grade is working with their Kindergarten Prayer Pals. Students are paired with Kindergarteners.  They accompany them to Mass and prayer services. They help them shop at the Christmas Boutique and complete many creative projects with them.

The 7th grade is an exciting year for students as well as teachers.

8th Grade is the final year at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Regional School, and it is a year filled with academic successes and wonderful memories.  Part of this process will begin with Open Houses for the Catholic High Schools in September and October. In early Nov. the Test for Admission into Catholic High School (TACHS) will be taken.  Along the way, students will engage in Common-Core based learning and the utilization of technology both in and out of the classroom.  The students will work cooperatively throughout the year on a series of community service projects.  Students in 8th Grade will also receive Confirmation at their respective parishes.  Students in 8th Grade will become Ambassadors to Christ as they begin their spiritual and academic journey towards high school.
