5th Grade Parent Night

Parents and caregivers will gather at the middle school to learn about the program of studies, schedule, extracurricular opportunities, and “everything middle school.”  There will be time for a Q&A session, as well as a tour of the building.  This is a highly anticipated, well-attended event!  Parents and caregivers are encouraged to attend in person, but there will be a virtual session for those unable to attend in person.

Move-Up Day

5th-grade students visit the middle school to be officially welcomed as members of the Miles River community.  Students will meet administration, counselors, teachers, and other important staff.   They will learn about the middle school experience, and will have an opportunity to visit classrooms, the cafeteria, and more.  A panel of current Miles River students will provide a student perspective of life at Miles River and will answer student questions as well.  Move-Up Day will take place on Wednesday, June 3rd.  

6th Grade Orientation

This full-day event, led by our peer leaders, gives our new 6th-grade students an opportunity to acclimate to the middle school when no other students are in the building.  Students will visit their classrooms and meet their teachers, and will also participate in a number of team-building activities.  Bus transportation and a cookout lunch will be provided.  Orientation will take place on September 2nd.

First Day of School is September 8th
