My name is Ms. Jennifer Bevins. I graduated from Georgian Court College and have been teaching in Catholic school for twenty-two years. This is my first year at Trenton Catholic Academy.  I am thankful and honored to have been given the opportunity to teach 6th grade. 

As a teacher I believe that every student is special and unique.  We all have gifts and talents to share. I am looking forward to seeing your talents and gifts in action. As we begin our journey through sixth grade remember that you are up to the challenge!

6A is not just a classroom, but a family of learners. We will work together to grow in faith and knowledge. To do so we will need to work with each other and put forth our best effort.  You can do anything as long as you try! Remember that making mistakes is a part of learning and growing. 


Class Rules
1. Come to class prepared and ready to work.
2. Give your best effort.
3. Treat your classmates, peers, and teachers with respect.

Homework will be posted on my class website every day. Some assignments will be long term and require students to budget their time.  If an assignment is incomplete it will be given back for the student to redo/complete during recess.  Parents will be notified after three missed assignments.

Absent Work
Students who are absent will have their work collected for them. The assignments will be placed on the Absent Work board in the classroom.
