The middle schools are requested to assign fifth graders into a first period class. Transportation is a partnership between the parents/guardians and the district. Parents are requested to provide transportation to the middle school and the district provides transportation back to the elementary school for the balance of the instructional day. Fifth grade students will remain in the school district transportation feeder pattern.
