Transitioning to Middle School
Welcome to Davis!

Dear 5th Grade Families,
I would like to officially welcome you to Davis Middle School and to becoming part of our Irish Family. Transitions can be a nervous time for many, and the move from elementary school to middle school is no different. We know that there are unknowns and that adolescent years can be challenging. We want to make sure that we are adding feelings of excitement and joy as you get ready to navigate this change with your student.
To assist all incoming fifth graders with "need to know scheduling information" as well as Davis-specific details for transitioning to Middle School, we have created this Davis 5th to 6th grade webpage.
Please take time as a family to review the information provided on events, how to schedule your classes, and how to select a music class.
We are so excited to have you join Irish Nation in the fall!
