Mance Park Middle School

6th Grade Orientation Information

We understand that transitioning to Middle School is a big step for both students and parents. To help ease this transition, we invite you to register your 6th grader and have them join us for our 6th Grade Orientation.

During this event, students will have the opportunity to meet school administrators and become familiar with the campus. We ask that parents drop off their child as early as 4:00 PM and return for pick-up promptly at 6:00 PM.

The goal of Orientation is to help students get acquainted with the school building, learn about academic and behavioral expectations, and become inspired to engage in practices that will set them up for a successful start at MPMS.

Please note that this event takes place before our Meet and Greet, which will be held on August 4th. During Meet and Greet, students will have the opportunity to meet their teachers and explore classrooms.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to the MPMS community!
