We are having an orientation for 6th graders on Thursday, August 1 and are offering two different sessions: 3:00-5:00 pm and 6:00-8:00 pm. Students will meet in their homerooms at either 3:00 pm or 6:00 pm where the orientation will begin. We will make announcements when it's time to rotate classrooms and students will go visit all four of their core academic classes - English, Math, Science, and History. After those visits, they will be released to visit the Exploratory and PE Teachers. The first session will end at 5:00 pm and the last session will end at 8:00 pm.

After the 6th grade orientation, 6th grade students can be assigned their hallway lockers for the year along with their combination so they can begin practicing that same evening!
Students will need to pay fees before their visitation times so they can receive their schedules. Fee collection begins Tuesday, July 30 at 8:30 am and continues until 4:30 pm. We will begin collecting fees again that evening from 5:30-8:00 pm. Fee collection will also be available Wednesday, July 31 from 8:30 am-4:00 pm and then on Thursday, August 1 from 1:00 pm-8:00 pm.
Student fees for middle school can be paid in person at the school or online through the parent portal and fees are as follows:
Technology Fee…….….……$35.00
PE Locker Fee (optional).......$5.00(This fee will be reimbursed when the lock is returned.)
There is also a middle school sports fee if students play a middle school sport, but that is not collected at this time.
***Student breakfasts and lunches are FREE again this year!***
If you have not done so already, please complete the online registration update which is open through August 15 and can be completed from computers or your mobile device. If the online update has not taken place, you will need to complete the process at school before receiving your child's schedule. Avoid lots of extra paperwork and time and complete this process online now. (We can help with this at school now; just call.)
