LATE REMINDER: We have our second Parent/Student Transition Meeting this evening at the Middle School at 5:30pm for parents of incoming 5th & 6th graders. Like our last meeting, parents and students will learn more about the transition to the Middle School, have an opportunity to ask questions to seek answers, as well as get a tour of where the fifth and sixth grade classrooms will be located for the upcoming school year. We hope to see you all there!
