6th Grade Transition to the Middle School
P
lans are in full swing for our
current fifth-graders to enter
middle school as sixth-graders
next year.
Monthly meetings between a
transition committee, made
up of elementary and middle
school teachers and members
of the elementary school
parent-teacher organizations,
and administrators will ensure
all fifth- and sixth-graders
have a similarly impactful last
year in elementary school.
Administrators are finalizing
plans to make sure the middle
school is physically ready – all
sixth grade classrooms in the
middle school will be getting
touchscreen Promethean
boards, and plans for the
curriculum and staffing are in
place.
We also have a list of FAQs
for families on our website at
nhsd.net/~/mstransition.

To help incoming sixth- and seventh-
graders feel comfortable and welcome at
the middle school, a back-to-school social
is planned for next summer.
Students will get to explore their new
school while on a photo scavenger hunt
with classmates. There will also be food
trucks, games and activities, a spirit wear
sale and more!
