As your child embarks on her first year of Middle School, a whole new world awaits. At first, she may focus on the thrill of changing classes each period and exploring our new, state-of-the-art Mosing Middle School Building. But fifth grade brings so much more than new terrain and a more complex schedule. Your child can look forward to a year of amazing experiences, strengthened by growing relationships with faculty and peers.
He will learn to adjust to teachers with different personalities, expectations, and teaching styles. Long-term projects will require more planning. Multiple homework assignments, quizzes, and tests will challenge your child to become more organized and responsible. Rotations in art, choir, orchestra, theater, Bible, and digital literacy may reveal previously undiscovered interests. P.E. will build knowledge and skills in preparation for next year’s sports offerings. Advisory classes will help students build social-emotional skills, and their first overnight field trip to Camp Allen will give them the gift of time to explore and connect with classmates outdoors. Fifth grade promises to be a fast-paced, stimulating whirl of activity and discovery. The best part? Your child will love learning.
