Welcome Incoming 6th Graders and New Families!

We are so glad you and your family are joining the Longfellow Community! You probably have many questions about your new school, and we'll be happy to answer all of them! Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

- How do I sign up for zero period music or 7th period jazz?

Simply come to the class the first day of school to register. Zero period students should come to the breezeway inside the Derby Street gate at 8:00 on Aug. 30.

- Does Longfellow have lockers?

No. Students must have their backpacks with them all day. Some students choose to get rolling backpacks.

- Does Longfellow have PE uniforms?

No. Students are required to change their clothes for PE class, but they can wear any clothes that are approriate for doing sports - shorts, sweats, T-shirts, and proper shoes.

You may bring a combination lock to secure your belongings during PE class. PE lockers are not for all-day use, just for your PE period.

- What school supplies do I need?

The teachers require every student to have a three-ring heavy-duty binder which includes

six tab dividers and a zippered pencil case to fit in the binder.

In addition, there are other basic supplies which students should bring to school everyday: 2 pens and 2 pencils, a highlighter, an eraser, a two pocket folder for homework, a 12-inch ruler, and lined notebook paper (3-hole).
