| Each of our students will be a part of an academic team whose teachers instruct students in the core subjects. The students on the team will be randomly divided into classes of approximately 20 students. Team members work closely together to develop an integrated program of study and activities, as well as help students work cooperatively with the counselor, administrator and parents when problems arise that interfere with a student�s learning. Junior high school activities and learning experiences are age appropriate and sequential. A forty-minute lunch period provides opportunity to socialize. Extra-curricular after school activities will be available in grades seven through nine. Junior High involves a great deal of learning in the areas of increased personal responsibility, understanding the relationship between behavior and consequences, and building positive relationships with peers and adults. Academic and elective classes are structured so students have an opportunity to succeed at their highest level. We are please to be working with your child and know that we can count on your support.

| Beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 3rd, and Wednesday, April 4th, the sixth grade students are invited to Waller Junior High School for tours and orientation. Principal Michael D. King will give the students a brief overview concerning the aspects of junior high school life. Student Council members will conduct tours of the campus, and students from Mrs. Kowalski�s classes will present a skit of various junior high school activities. Hopefully, this will give your child a smoother transition from elementary to junior high. Sixth grade students will be given information on how to enroll for the seventh grade. Each student will be given an enrollment form and a registration form to be filled out and signed by parents. Mrs. Judy Fields, seventh grade counselor, will explain the registration and enrollment process to the students attending the tours. We are requesting parents to fill out and return all enrollment information to your child�s sixth grade teacher by Friday, April 6th. A list of scheduled tours and dates are provided below, parents are encouraged to meet their children at the junior high cafeteria and join them for the tour.

| As the end of the school year draws near, it is time to begin planning freshmen enrollment. This year's parent night and freshmen enrollment will be held on Tuesday, April 10th at 6:30 P.M. in the Waller Auditorium. These nights are designed to orient parents to the enrollment process and give valuable information to planning the high school years. All parents will be provided an individual folder with your child's test results as well as a schedule for next year's course selections. We hope that all parents will attend this important night. Letters will also be sent home to further explain the enrollment process. If you have any questions, you may call the school office at 234-5931. |
