Welcome to Grade 6! We are very much looking forward to meeting

Welcome to Grade 6! We are very much looking forward to meeting you in August.
This will be a new and exciting year for you and we want it to go as smoothly as possible. For many of
you, it will be the first time that you will have different teachers for each subject and this can be
challenging. That is why it is so important that you try to be organized and come to all of your classes well
prepared. You will be given an agenda when you come to school which will help you to stay organized,
but you are responsible for bringing the other supplies that you will need to be successful – and it is
important that you have everything that you need. Make sure you have everything from the supplies list
below ready for your first day of school.
Have a wonderful summer. We look forward to working with you in August!

Students are required to have a pair of clean indoor trainers/sneakers (non-marking soles), and a pair of
outdoor trainers/sneakers (preferably a pair of "running" trainers). Your child will be expected to bring a
gym bag to school, containing a clean pair of shorts or sweatpants, ZIS t-shirt, trainers, towel and a swim
suit. . ZIS PE T-shirts can be ordered via Community Portal. The t-shirt is the same as the one used in
the Lower School so there is no need to buy a new one if it is still in good condition.
Our curriculum offers students opportunities to experience team and individual sports as well as
swimming and lifesaving. It is expected that your child can swim by the time they enter middle school.
This means that your child should be able to swim 25 meters breast stroke or crawl in deep water
