What activities take place to help my student adjust to middle school?
We have several activities planned to enable your student to make a smooth transition to middle school. The dates for these will be announced later in the fall.

What immunizations are needed for middle school?
All students entering 6th grade must have 2 MMR vaccines, 3 Hepatitis B vaccines and a proof of immunity to Varicella in their records. You should receive a notice during conference week if your student does not have these immunizations. These must be on form #3231.

Will we get to visit the middle schools?
Because of recent budget restrictions this trip will not take place this year. Counselors from both Awtrey and McClure will visit Lewis on May 11 to help the students get ready for the tranisition. The middle schools are also planning extra time for open houses to help with this. Check the middle school web site for more information.Back to Top
