Parent Workshops:

*Middle School Options:  Tuesday, October 14, 2025 in the Counselors' Classroom.  In this workshop on various middle school options available for your child next year. We will discuss school choice (special permission), magnet programs, charter schools, and how all these application processes work if you would like your child to attend somewhere other than your homebased middle school. We encourage parents to go ahead and be researching potential middle schools, as there are some parent nights and open houses for charter and magnet programs happening before this workshop. This will be a part of our October School Improvement Council Meeting. We hope to see you there!
