Continuity to TAG Center Middle School Program Information
TAG Center 5th graders will receive a letter of continuity in the second semester of the year. Families need to select continuity to the TAG Center Middle School based on their home address or families can opt out of continuity and return to their boundary middle school and participate in Honors Courses.
It is critical that parents/guardians meet the deadline for returning the paperwork to the Office of Pupil Accounting and School Boundaries and complete the appropriate registration information.
