Rising Sixth Graders Prepare for Middle Division
Aug 14, 2026
This week, rising sixth graders are building skills for a successful start to Middle Division in “Crash Course in Organizational and Study Skills,” an optional program offered before classes begin. They’re exploring effective study techniques, time management, and MacBook Pro skills. Along the way, they’re learning what it means to be “smart” about themselves as learners—recognizing what helps them focus, stay organized, ask for help, and do their best work. They’re also getting to know the Berkeley campus, meeting new classmates, and building confidence through fun activities like scavenger hunts!
