Middle School Transition UpdateSlides from last Thursday's Middle School Transition meeting with Evergreen Junior High are now posted on the EJH web site. Please go to http://www.lwsd.org/school/ejh/Pages/MiddleSchoolConfiguration.aspx to view the slides. A sample schedule, as well as the 5th and 6th grade transition calendars, are also available on the web site.
Two additional information nights will be held in January, one for 5th grade parents and another for 6th grade parents, as well as several Coffee Chats (see the schedule for dates). Evergreen emphasizes student participation in the registration process, so the Evergreen counselors will visit Dickinson in January to talk to the students about the transition and their elective options. The 5th and 6th grade teachers will provide registration materials which the students will bring home for discussion and completion with their parents.
Evergreen's newsletter, the Eagle Express, is an interesting way to begin becoming more familiar with Evergreen's environment. If you are interested in signing up for it, please visit http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs031/1103640951160/archive/1108363039323.html and click on "Join Our Mailing List".
If you were unable to make Thursday's meeting and have questions about the transition, please feel free to email Andrea Stoppani (astoppani@dickinsonptsa.org). |
