Information for Incoming 6th Graders Hello Incoming 6th Grade Families, We are so excited for you to join the Central Middle School community next fall. We know that this transition is very important for you so we want to share some information that may be helpful as you begin thinking about middle school. Traditionally, we are able to come to your schools and give you this information, but during these unprecedented times, we will adapt to ensure a smooth transition for your child. Helpful Information - Day in the Life of a 6th Grader: Watch this video showing the daily life of a 6th grader at Central Middle School. This may help answer some of your child's questions.
- Transitioning to Middle School: In January, Wayzata Community Ed hosted a helpful presentation about the transition to middle school. It provides some really helpful tips for supporting your child through the transition. The Parenting with Vision webpage provides the presentation and other resources. It may be helpful as you begin talking about middle school at your house.
- Virtual Student Visits in May: Our support team is working with your elementary school to set up zoom meetings with your child's class. This will give representatives from Central Middle School an opportunity to answer any questions that your child may have about middle school. This will take place during the last week of May.
- Important dates for next school year: We are still working through some details about important dates for next year, but we wanted to provide you with the ones that we know so far. We will continue to update you as we learn more.
