5th Grade Transition
to Middle School
The transition to middle school can bring up lots of different emotions for both students and parents. Some students report feeling excited, nervous, scared, a mix of feelings, and more! You aren't alone in those feelings and I am here to support with any questions or concerns!
Check your email and sign up for the middle school
e-news to get all the info for incoming 6th graders.

Worried about lockers?
Watch this video to practice using a combination lock! One idea is to purchase a lock or borrow one from a friend or family member and practice with it over the summer.
There are no tardies those first few weeks and teachers will be available to help students with lockers.
