Happy Friday! We hope your family has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Today we have a presentation from area middle schools (Murchison, Kealing, Fulmore, Ann Richards). We will go to Murchison in January for a tour and overview of their various course offerings. Also, please check the Middle School Info. tab frequently -- we are constantly adding information about upcoming middle school events. As the year goes on we will talk more specifically about what “level” of courses your child should consider taking in middle school. As far as magnet schools are concerned and whether or not your child would be a good candidate, we encourage you to let them take charge of the application process; if they can be self-driven and excited about applying, that’s usually a good indication that they are ready for the additional challenge magnet schools provide. Your child has to WANT to attend these schools (and be ready for the accompanying workload), so the application process is a great place to start! You can expect emailed progress reports during the week after we return from break. In the meantime, you can check your child’s grades online here. The 5th grade fundraiser is almost complete, and Thursday, November 29, will be the second and final fulfillment day for the Hill cups. Click here for more information! Thanks for reading, and we hope you have a wonderful holiday week with your family! ~5th Grade Team
