🌟Rising 6th Graders
Unfortunately, the snow and ice caused PMS to cancel the rising 6th grade night with our families. Due to the pending weather forecast for next week, we recorded our presentation for our families.
Our middle school counselors will be visiting elementary schools starting next week, so we wanted all families to have this information upfront.
Please view this recording to learn about classes, extracurricular activities, how to be a middle schooler, and more.
We will also talk more about the scheduling process and how students pick classes in middle school.
Reach out to our counseling coordinator, Terry Baldwin (terry.baldwin@powhatan.k12.va.us) or our principal, Colin Innes (colin.innes@powhatan.k12.va.us) with any questions. If you'd like to learn more about the schedule, school, and potential classes, check out our Powhatan Middle School Scheduling Website.
