Welcome Parents/Guardians and Students to Fifth Grade!
The Fifth Grade Team is excited to begin the 2024-2025 School Year with you. As we embark on a new experience in 5th grade, our goal is to encourage and support happy, healthy, and successful learners. Fostering a classroom environment of inclusion and respect for all students is our primary focus. We will work to promote an atmosphere that is thoughtful and engaging, with an emphasis on every student’s emotional well-being.
Providing on-going vigorous and meaningful learning activities will allow each child the opportunity to participate in team-building, problem-solving, and discovery tasks. As students slowly become acclimated back to school, it is imperative that each child is safe, and their transition is smooth. We anticipate a rewarding school year.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support.
