Don't Forget!

Your child should register for their base assigned DPS middle school whether or not they will be attending a magnet or charter school or transferring to a different DPS middle school. Registering for their base school will not affect their ability to attend a different school.

Sending our 5th graders off to their respective middle schools can be bittersweet. I make sure to prep our 5th graders for Middle School as much as possible in our counseling lessons towards the end of the year. I am also your resource for help with registration and any other middle school transition related questions.

To Dos

  • Look out for emails from me (Ms. Armor) about registering for middle school elective classes.

  • Tell me or our data manager if you plan to move in the district or out of the district so we can make sure your child's information gets to the right place.

  • Reach out if your child is anxious and needs counseling support to deal with the middle school transition.
