Dear 6th Grade Students and Family,

Below you will find a list of events that will take place to assist our 6th grade students in making a smooth transition to the Florence Junior Senior High School in the fall. I hope you will reach out to Mrs. Lesser, Mrs. Holman, or Principal Melendrez if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.   

Mrs. Lesser and Mrs. Holman

Event #1

Principal Melendrez and Ms. Hardy (7th Grade counselor) will give a brief in class presentation to our students. This is always a fun event because Mr. Melendrez brings Husky “swag” like t-shirts & lanyards.

PES: Wednesday, April 27th at 9:10 am 

FES: Wednesday, April 27th at 10:15 am 

Event #2

6th Grade Parent Meeting, visit the school, learn about electives, and ask questions. I highly recommend attending this event.

Event #3

Our 6th graders will go on a site visit to FJSHS. They will eat breakfast at the elementary schools, depart by bus to the Jr/Sr High at about 8:30 am. They will have a tour of the school and spend some time learning about the expectations of a Husky. Students will eat lunch with the middle school students and then return to their elementary school.
