5th Grade Orientation will be held at the middle school on August 11 from 6-7 PM. Parents/Guardians and their 5th grader will receive important information from the teachers and will have the opportunity to ask questions about middle school. Students do not need to bring anything to orientation. To ensure a comfortable experience, we encourage arranging care for any children other than your 5th grader, as classroom space will be limited. Contact the middle school office with any questions.
