Future Shock

Okay, guys, sorry for the delay, but here's the schedule as I know it for the upcoming transition to Clay Middle School events:

January 18 @4pm-5:30pm: Parents should drop off and pick up children at the front entrance of Clay Middle School. A flyer will be sent home with your child prior to the event. During these afternoon meetings, students will take a tour of the school, meet with current students, enjoy pizza, get a Clay t-shirt, and learn about the day-to-day life of a Clay student.

January 24 @7pm: While parents of incoming 6th graders attend a meeting to receive information regarding the scheduling process, incoming sixth grade students will meet in the gymnasium to learn more about being a student at Clay. In addition, the performing arts department will provide and overview of the middle school band, orchestra, and choir programs for students.

February 9 @9am: This one is for parents only. Clay Middle School administrators and guidance counselors will be hosting a coffee at Clay Middle School to answer any unanswered questions and get to know incoming Clay parents.

February 13 @9:15am: Clay Middle School counselors will be going to the elementary schools to speak with the students about scheduling their courses for sixth grade. Expect the kids to bring home information regarding the course offerings.

February 24: Course selections must be completed through the online course request system by this date.

April 25 @6:30pm: Incoming sixth grade students and parents can attend an informal open house at Clay. They will take guided tours, learn about school clubs, and have the opportunity to ask questions about life at Clay.
