Dear Parents and Guardians of 2023-24 6th Graders:
At St. Francis Middle School, we are excited to welcome our new 6th graders into our learning community. Starting in August, we will be offering numerous 6th grade orientation sessions for students, parents, and/or guardians. At these meetings we will help you and your student understand what a middle school day looks like, how to be successful as a middle school student, give a tour of our school, and, most importantly, answer your questions.
If you already registered for a session, please do not register again. For those of you who have not, please register for one session by using the following link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjR8usNnDcZ1lfiq_-s44ePC_BKUFey1noj9mG-F8Kf65-fQ/viewform?usp=sf_link
We are limiting the number of people at each session to make sure we can spend time with each of our students and their parents/guardians.
If you have any questions, please contact me at heidi.critchley@isd15.org or Kayla Buzzel at kayla.buzzell@isd15.org. We look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Heidi Critchley
SFMS Principal
