Dear Parents of 5th Graders,
Get ready for middle school! You and your 5th grader are invited to “Gearing Up for Middle School,” an important and fun event designed to help you prepare for the transition ahead. Join us on Thursday, April 29 at 6:00 p.m. (for Mile Creek School students) or Monday, May 4 at 6:00 p.m. (for Lyme School students).
We invite you to partner with us for this fun and meaningful evening. Gearing Up for Middle School is a hands-on event designed to encourage conversation, ease both excitement and concerns about the transition to 6th grade, and introduce early prevention strategies for 5th graders and their parents.
We know that starting these conversations early are important as children grow and begin to navigate new experiences in middle and high school. This evening provides an opportunity for families to connect, ask questions, and feel more prepared for the transition ahead.
Parents play a key role in guiding their children’s choices, and we are here to support you in that process. We also recognize that these conversations are not always easy, and this event is designed to offer a comfortable and supportive space to begin them.
Join LYSB staff, along with high school peer leaders, for an engaging and supportive evening. Pizza will be provided, and childcare is available with advance registration.
