Back to School Notes

We are excited and ready to get started! The first months in middle school will focus on getting and staying organized. The students will learn how to use a planner to keep track of their assignments and together we will organize and maintain a notebook of our work. At the end of each unit or quarter parents can help students clean out the previous assignments and handouts and file them away for later use during exams. (Oops, did I use the E word? Don't worry, learning how to prepare for and take semester exams is a fifth grade task which we work on together and take very slowly, one step at a time.)

Tech classes will begin immediately so that your son or daughter will become comfortable with his or her new computer quickly. However, every assignment does not have to be typed, especially early in the year! Teachers will always accept neatly written work.

Important Dates:

Fifth Grade Parents' Night is September 4 and will present an overview of the middle school and the fifth grade. On September 22, you will have an opportunity to meet your child's teachers and follow their schedule at the Middle School Parents' Night. We are looking forward to meeting you!
