Fourth Into Fifth Grade Transition Information
On June 1st or 2nd, fourth graders will be visiting the Middle School to learn all about 5th grade. Our hope is that students will become more familiar with the building as well as the 5th grade teachers. We will be buddying up each 4th grader with a 5th grader to learn how to navigate a typical 5th grade schedule and also get a feeling for the layout of the building itself. More information will be coming from Mr. Whipple, Middle School principal, in the near future.
FOOD ALLERGY AWARENESS WEEK!
Many students who attend our schools have serious life-threatening food allergies. We are working to build awareness with our students on this important topic.
