morning-meeting Pay School Fees

DSST’s educational program includes components that are not fully funded through public revenue sources, as a result we need to supplement public sources through charging fees to our students. Each fee supports a specific component of DSST’s program, however we do not want there to be a financial barrier to attending DSST therefore fees are not required for attendance at DSST. Families are encouraged to pay at the beginning of the school year but have the option to work out a payment schedule with the front office team. 

If your family qualifies for, or may qualify for, free or reduced price lunch, DSST will partner with you to find an amount that you are able to pay. The reduced fee schedule below is a suggested amount so please work with the front office team to determine the amount you’d like to pay.  

Please note: Additional extracurricular activities may require fees to offset the cost of the club and families will be charged accordingly.

morning-meeting 6th Grade: What are students learning?

Subject/Course

 Description of Unit 1 What is our goal for student learning? 

English/Language Arts

 The Outsiders is a 1960s coming-of-age novel set in 1950s Tulsa, Oklahoma, depicting the lives of two teenage groups: the wealthy Socs and the impoverished Greasers. Written by 15-year-old S.E. Hinton, the story explores themes of identity, violence, trauma, power structures, and relationships, significantly influencing Young Adult literature.
Students can relate to the characters in the coming-of-age story, particularly Ponyboy Curtis, as they explore their own identities. The novel's themes of violence and belonging encourage deep analysis and discussion. Additionally, as a classic, it allows students to connect with and critique the influence of power and privilege on identity. By incorporating readings on group dynamics and trauma, students can engage with the unit's key themes more profoundly.
Math Our first unit covers the basics of geometry, including what they've learned in 5th grade! Firstly, students will explore the concepts of surface area, volume and when to apply these mathematical functions. Students will begin their journey of working collaboratively in order to solve unknown problems along with their peers. By the end of the year, students will continue growing in multiple areas of mathematics: geometry, algebra, arithmetic, and statistics to name a few. Outside of mathematics, our goals are also to build rational thinking, prosper in independent and group work, and building our mathematic confidence. We also want to make sure students are able to apply their mathematical knowledge into real-world contexts, and have purpose in their learning.
Science This first unit on light and matter explores the guiding phenomena of a one way mirror and how a material can act or appear differently under different conditions. Through student-guided questions, inquiries, and the manipulation of light differentials using a box model, 6th graders are able to draw conclusions on the interactions between matter and light. By the end of this unit, students will create classroom norms to collaboratively work together and explore the behavior of light with one way mirrors through experiments and research. Through the development of models they will be able to explain how one-way mirrors, regular mirrors, glass, and the eye interact with light. These models can then be used to understand and explain everyday examples of this scientific phenomena.
Social Studies Our first unit in Social Studies will cover geography . This will include the basics of world maps, how to read a map, and the important vocabulary involved.
We will create world maps, use an atlas to locate world locations and take an imaginary road trip tracking our path across the country.
We will study key geographic features, as well as different types of maps. 		This year students will learn world geography, how to use a map. Historical thinking skills: critical analysis, use of primary and secondary sources. How to write evidence-based arguments using a simple structure to clarify ideas and build upon their knowledge of argumentative writing.  We will take a basic look at types of governments and economies. And we will study the history of the peoples of the Americas up until the Age of Discovery/ colonization.
Academic Enrichment In Unit 1, we will begin by getting to know each student’s strengths, needs, and learning styles through informal assessments, observations, and one-on-one instruction. This will help us determine their current skill levels and guide our instruction based on their Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals. By the end of the school year, students will show growth in reading, math, and writing based on their individual IEP goals. In reading, they will improve their ability to sound out words, read with better fluency, and understand what they read. In math, they will strengthen their number sense, basic math skills, and problem-solving strategies. In writing, students will improve their sentence structure, organization of ideas, and use of correct grammar and spelling. Students will also build confidence and learn how to use strategies and tools to help them become more independent learners both in the pull-out setting and in the general education classroom.
Academic Lab-Math In math 6 lab students will be working on Zearn and IXL lessons that are closely related to what they are learning in math 6. Students will start by deepening their understanding of area of compound shapes and practicing more fundamental math concepts. By the end of the year students will gain confidence in their mathematical abilities, and fill in gaps that will deepen their understanding of 6th grade math.
Literacy Lab The Literacy Lab program is designed to give your student more one-on-one attention in their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. Each class is made up of students with complementary strengths and areas to grow in their reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. We will practice many different skills throughout the year. However, the two biggest focus areas are listed below. By year end: Student will have  improved phonics skills, decoding principles, new vocabulary and a new appreciate for reading for fun. You will see reading fluency increase and the ability for your student to break down key ideas in a text leading to advanced comprehension. 
Writing Lab 6th Grade Writing Lab is an enrichment course where we will focus on writing development at the sentence, paragraph, and essay level. Writing students will build their writing variety, style, and voice through celebrating and revising writing. We will build our vocabulary through explicit instruction and practice with nouns, verbs, pronouns and proper nouns. Students will leave 6th grade writing with a deeper understanding of the writing process: prompt analysis, planning, writing, editing, and revising. No matter what students’ future interests are, they will need to communicate ideas clearly and with appropriate voice and tone. 

STEM Lab 6:

Aerospace Engineering

 The course begins with Unit 1: Paper Aircrafts, where students will delve into the fundamental principles of flight. They will use their knowledge of the four forces of flight (weight, thrust, drag, and lift) to creatively design and build paper aircrafts with the goal of achieving maximum distance and airtime. By the end of the year, students will be able to define a design problem with specific criteria and constraints and investigate how the motion of a drone is affected by forces like weight, thrust, drag, and lift, and by its mass, so we can create and improve solutions that really work.
English Language Development In our first unit, students will learn about families—different family members, relationships, and traditions—and how to talk about their own families in English. This will help them share about themselves and connect with others. By the end of the year, students will have built a foundation in digital art and design, developing both creative confidence and technical skills. They will be able to apply the elements and principles of design in projects such as posters, logos, and album covers. Students will strengthen their ability to use digital tools, express their own identities, and critically evaluate how visual media shapes culture. Beyond technical proficiency, students will gain experience in collaboration, presenting their work, and building a digital portfolio that demonstrates growth in creativity, problem-solving, and design thinking.
Art (Digital Arts) Our first unit, Introduction to Digital Art, introduces students to the basics of digital design, creative tools, and visual storytelling. Students will explore the elements of art (line, shape, color, texture, and composition) through accessible digital platforms such as Canva and Photopea. They will create digital collages that connect to their identities, practice design vocabulary, and begin to see how artists use technology to communicate ideas, culture, and personal expression. By the end of the year, students will have built a foundation in digital art and design, developing both creative confidence and technical skills. They will be able to apply the elements and principles of design in projects such as posters, logos, and album covers. Students will strengthen their ability to use digital tools, express their own identities, and critically evaluate how visual media shapes culture. Beyond technical proficiency, students will gain experience in collaboration, presenting their work, and building a digital portfolio that demonstrates growth in creativity, problem-solving, and design thinking.
Physical Education During the first full week of school, students will take a fitness test to establish a baseline for their fitness level. There will be four categories that we will test on: how many total push-ups can you do, how many sit-ups in a minute, a timed mile, and a sit-and-reach flexibility test. After this, students will be creating a goal to reach in all four of these categories when we retake this fitness test at the end of the quarter. By the end of the quarter, students will have built an understanding of the importance of their health, and have the tools to create a plan on how to increase their physical heatlh. They will also be able to apply the principles of teamwork in all of their classes, promoting an inclusive and supportive community
