Hello fifth grade families!
I am so excited to see your fifth grader in class over the next couple of weeks! I will be joining all of the fifth grade classrooms for three lessons about the transition to middle school. We will focus on emotions associated with the transition, classes and scheduling as well as a Q&A with school counselors from each middle school. Below are some links to both Barker Road and Calkins Road Middle School, some helpful articles about the middle school transition, as well as links to information on Web Leaders the summer transition/orientation used at both schools. If your child is continuing to express concerns about middle school feel free to contact me directly: Andrea_Tutino@Pittsford.monroe.edu
