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.
​

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.

During PE classes
Dear Longfellow Community,
In public schools nowadays, fundraising is a fact of life. The Longfellow community must work together to pay for basics not covered by the State - pencils and sharpeners, markers and glue – and for teaching tools like Pear Decks and tablets that make lessons come alive. Some schools sell wrapping paper or nuts to raise money, but Longfellow’s fundraiser is a Run-a-thon during the period of training for the President’s Youth Fitness test. Pledging to the Run-a-thon shows our kids the community values fitness and hard work. Sports help adolescents to develop lifelong habits of physical activity that will benefit them throughout their lives. Thank you for helping us celebrate your child’s HEALTH and WELLNESS by participating in Longfellow’s Run-a-thon.
