6th Grade Transition Page

Here is an overview of the steps we take to be sure incoming sixth graders and parents are ready for middle school. 
 

Program Planning Guide Review
Counselors visit all elementary schools to review the Seaman Middle School program planning guide and review course options in February. Students take these enrollment materials home to review with parents/guardians.

Enrollment for 7th Grade
One week after the counselors visit elementary schools, 6th grade teachers enroll students for next year. Parents will still need to complete online enrollment.

6th Grade Parent Night
This is an informational meeting for parents. There will be important middle school information presented. We encourage all parents to attend this event.
