Middle School Specialty Programs Attention 5th Grade Parents:
If your son or daughter plans to apply for a middle school specialty program that requires an essay, I am offering two dates for students to write their essay under my supervision. Essays may NOT be completed at home. If students are not able to attend either of these essay dates, you MUST contact the specialty school and arrange a time for your child to write the essay there. The dates are: January 17th and 18th. Please email me or return the permission slip that was sent home last week if you would like your child to participate. For more infomation about specialty programs, please check out the folder labeld "Specialty Middle School Programs."
