5th Grade Parent Night

What an exciting time to be a middle school learner in Waukee! The time has begun for us to begin the process of transitioning your fifth grader to middle school. We want to invite parents only to attend Parent Night February 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the Waukee Middle School gym.
One of our priorities is to help your child experience a positive transition to middle school, and your attendance at Parent Night is the first step in making this happen. During this event, you will learn about the courses your child will be taking as a sixth grader, how to enroll in these courses, and where to go to access course descriptions. Your fifth grader will then experience a similar presentation at a later date.
As we begin our journey as a team, we look forward to seeing you at Parent Night on February 6.
