Meet in the Middle: 5th Grade Jump Up Day - January 18th

We are thrilled to share an upcoming event with you - Meet in the Middle: A 5th Grade Jump-up Day on Thursday, January 18, 2024. Each year, our current 5th grade students "jump up" to Middle School for a day to get a sneak peek of the 6th grade experience. Once again, we are extending that opportunity and welcoming any local 5th graders, who are not currently enrolled at HCES, to join our 5th graders and spend a day on campus as they experience Middle School classrooms, enjoy lunch in The Commons and a pep rally! Last year, we welcomed 6 new students to our middle school who attended this event. 

Morning arrival for our visitors is at 8:00 am. Parents will meet for a morning discussion led by Amy Vernon, Head of the Middle School. You’ll learn about the changes to expect in Middle School and how our program uniquely assists children in making these necessary transitions through adolescence while preparing them for success in High School and beyond.  

Students will join with other 5th graders who will be visiting Middle School classes, and then share their experiences over lunch in our Commons Cafe. Other fun activities will follow in the afternoon, including a peek into our elective classes, a pep rally, 6th grade panel Q & A, and maybe even a basketball game after school! 

Registration is necessary so that we can make Middle School class schedules for our guests. Please use the form on this page to register. This event is FREE and open to the public.

More information can be found at www.hces.org/meetinthemiddle. Please jump on Facebook and share the event with your friends. We are so excited to welcome these new faces to a day on campus. 
 
In addition, if you know of someone who is interested but cannot attend or is looking at other grade levels, we welcome them to come for a visit anytime. They can schedule a time to drop by with me, Nena at 850-383-1007 or through email at nmartinez@hces.org
