Shifting Gears registration will begin on March 2nd, 2020 at 9:00 AM.

Shifting Gears is a transition program to help rising 7th graders adjust to middle school and feel more comfortable with the change. The program focuses on helping students make new friends from different schools, learning how to effectively work in a group with students from diverse backgrounds, become proficient at their locker, and learn and understand middle school expectations and rules.

While regular, daily attendance is important, there are times of the year that students are likely to develop colds, flu, or other infectious illnesses. This resource identifies occasions when it is best that students stay home and recover from their illnesses. It includes practical tips for parents with concerns about their children’s health..
