Dear 5^th Grade Parents,

I am thrilled to welcome you to the Day Community for the 2023-2023 school year.  Please know that our entire faculty are already preparing for the arrival of your children. 

The first important event in the transition process is the Incoming 6th Grade Parent and Guardian Orientation on Thursday, March 9, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. in the Day Middle School Auditorium. At this event, you will meet the Day Administration Team and a few faculty members, and you will learn more about our schedule, curriculum and after school enrichment opportunities.  We will also be offering student-led tours of our building following the orientation.

Immediately following this orientation, you will receive an email with information about how to select your child’s World Language class for the 2023-2024 school year. You will also be provided an opportunity to sign your child up for one of the performing arts groups:  band, orchestra or chorus.  In addition, you will have an opportunity to email us with any specific requests you have regarding your child’s transition to Day Middle School. This process as well as the rest of the transition events below will be explained in detail at the orientation on March 9th.  

As we navigate these transition events together, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.  My contact information is below.  Another resource to support your family’s transition to the Day Community is next year’s 6^th grade guidance counselors who can be reached at the email below:
