Will I have homework every night?

You can expect a reasonable amount of homework each school day- more if you 
do not complete your in-class assignments.  Long-term assignments and 
projects will sometimes need to be worked on over the weekend.

Can I do extra credit to improve my grade?

Opportunities for extra credit are very rare in 6th grade.  We would rather you do your best on each and 
every assignment, therefore eliminating the need to ask for extra credit.
