Diamond Middle School 5th-6th Grade Transition

Welcome to Diamond Middle School

Spring 2026

The transition from fifth to sixth grade is a big deal, and we're excited to welcome our new sixth graders to middle school! We hope you're excited too!

In order to prepare for our new sixth graders' arrival in the fall, Diamond Middle School HAS centralized all the information families will need to simplify the transition process. We hope that this website will serve as a hub for all related communications, documents, and information.

The registration process for Diamond Middle School is listed below. As we release new resources, we will link them in the timeline below.

If you have questions as we progress through the events of the sixth grade registration process, please reach out to let us know how we can help you!
