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
