Moving up to middle school is an exciting time for our 5th-grade students and families! Navigating a new building, new staff, and new friends can sometimes feel overwhelming, but your school teams - at the elementary and middle schools - are here to support the transition to middle school so that students are successful.
This website will be your resource for everything middle school transition! Stay tuned throughout the spring and summer for additional information to be posted. If you cannot find the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate to reach out to your middle school.
