8th Grade Transition
Parents of 8th grade students, we are working with our feeder High Schools as your 8th grader transitions into high school. These are exciting times and we want to keep you informed.
Here are a few important announcements:
High School Counselors from PHS, MCHS and RBHS will be visiting our 8th grade students at Meadowbrook on March 1st during 1st period. Your student will attend the presentation based on the high school they are designated to attend.
The High School counselors are preparing a "one shop-stop" for all information regarding 8th grade transition. For example, Family Nights, CRF information, etc. When we receive this information, we will provide this to you in our call-out and post on the MBMS website.
