Hungary Creek and Holman School Counselors visit with 5th graders in January to discuss course selection. We work with students, teachers, and parents on making a smooth transition to middle school in classroom lessons, groups, and individual counseling. If you don’t know where your child is going to school next year, please go to: http://www.henricoschoolboundaries.com/

Below are some resources for parents & students to help with the middle school transition:

• Transition to Middle School

• Opening a combination lock!

International Baccalaureate Program:

The application process begins in September for the following year. Students entering the IB Program from Echo Lake are zoned to go to Moody Middle. Please have your child log into my Schoology page for more information. Applications will be posted there.

Video about Moody Middle School IB: Moody IBMYP

The IBMYP program considers the following when determining acceptance:

– Non-weighted GPA from 4^th & 5th grades

– Two teacher recommendations from 4^th & 5th

– Writing Sample

**If your child applies for the I.B. program at Moody Middle School they should STILL proceed with course requests as if they were going to Hungary Creek or Holman. Once a student finds out that he/she has been accepted (in February), then the necessary changes will be made, as there is a different procedure for I.B. scheduling/ course selections.**
