Gotha Update

Welcome Rising 6th Grade Families!

We are SO excited to begin connecting with our incoming 6th grade families. It may feel early, but our Step Up process is right around the corner, and we’re thrilled to get things underway.

We’ve already started visiting our feeder elementary schools and have met so many enthusiastic 5th graders. So far, we’ve visited Frangus ES, Thornebrooke ES, Westbrooke ES, and Metro West ES. If we’ve already been to your child’s school, they should have received their course selection information. If you need another copy or have any questions, just let us know.

Next week, we’ll be wrapping up our visits with Windermere ES, Oak Hill ES, and Westpointe ES. We can’t wait to meet even more future Grizzlies as we help them prepare for an amazing transition to middle school.
