Dear Mr/Ms/Mx (Surname):
Enclosed is the list of all necessary books and equipment for all classes for your sixth year at Hogwarts. Getting these supplies by the end of the second week of school is required, however, if you speak with your Career Advisor or Head of House, an extension may be granted depending on circumstance.
Quidditch tryouts will be listed on your common room’s message board, make sure to check there for the dates of tryouts. If you wish you play, you must try out, even if you were on the team last year. As a reminder, sixth years are allowed to have three extracurricular activities (including Quidditch), so if you are still only a part of two activities, please feel free to join a third.
This year you are eligible to become Quidditch [name_m]Captain[/name_m] or Prefect. If you meet the criteria, please see the Headmistress before the end of your first week at school to apply. Please note that Prefect also qualifies as an extracurricular activity, so if you already have three activities, you will need to drop one (or choose not to become a Prefect). If eligible, you are allowed to be both Quidditch [name_m]Captain[/name_m] and a Prefect, however, you must not have more than three extracurricular activities.
Term begins Sept 1. I hope this letter finds you well.
Yours sincerely,
[name_f]Minerva[/name_f] McGonagall
Headmistress

The grading scale: roll 8d20 and add up the total. [name_f]Do[/name_f] this from 3-10 times (depending on your number of classes) and assign the final numbers to your classes. If you fail more than half of your classes, you’ll need to take the year over again as well as drop a course (the coursework is much harder after all!). If this happens, add one more d20 to the number of dice that you use for course grades!
Grading Scale Reminder:
90% or above: O – Outstanding
80-89%: E – Exceeds Expectations
70-79%: A – Acceptable (this is the last passing grade)
60-69%: P - Poor
50-59%: D - Dreadful
49% or less: T – Troll
