Greetings 5th Grade Families!
Today we began our articulation process with your child to welcome them as a 6th grader at Urbana Middle School in Fall 2021.
Today during your child’s school day, Ms. Nixon, 6th grade school counselor at UMS, visited 5th grade classes to review elective options for 6th grade. To view today’s presentation, please use this link: https://tinyurl.com/UMS2028Electives. Students filled out two google forms during the virtual visit, one regarding general student interests, and the other ranking the elective options. These are not official elective choices, just an indication of what your student likes so that we can tailor our offerings accordingly.
This year, UMS will be mailing home all registration forms for each 5th grader within the next few weeks. These forms will include placement recommendations for Math and English Language Arts that have been made by your child’s 5th grade teacher in collaboration with the UMS Articulation Team. You will also see the elective choices that your child made today. At that time, you will have the opportunity to make any changes to your child’s choices.
UMS will be hosting a Virtual 5th Grade Parent Information Night in February to overview UMS information and registration details. Please look out for more information coming soon!
If you have more questions regarding FCPS middle school curriculum, please view the 2021-2022 FCPS Middle School Course Guide at https://www.fcps.org/academics/middle-school-academics.
Thank you for all your support during this transition process!
