Transition to Middle School Schedule 2013-14




Dear Future O. Henry Mustang (and Parent)

This is an exciting year of celebrating the end of your elementary school days and looking forward to new challenges that lie ahead in middle school.  It is also a year that requires some very careful planning for your future.  Below is a table of important scheduled activities that will help you get ready for a successful transition from your elementary school to O. Henry Middle School.   

Your child will receive detailed information about our course offerings during the presentation on their elementary campus. Parents will have an opportunity to receive the same information at our Choice Sheet Morning/Night on February 12.    Valuable information can also be found on our website:  www.ohenrypta.org
