Moving from 5th Grade to 6th Grade
In trying to ensure a smooth transition from elementary school to middle school, Mr. Geoghegan, Ms. Rae, Mr. Thomas, the guidance department, and 6th grade teachers have worked together to put on multiple programs to help in this endeavor.
On Wednesday evening, June 8, Mr. Geoghegan, Ms. Rae, and Mr. Thomas held a question and answer introductory meeting for 5th parents at the HBB Auditorium. The night was well-received with over 80 parents present.
During the presentation, Mr. Geoghegan showed this video, which was produced by NMS Tiger TV Club.

Then on Friday, June 10, both the MKG and HBB sent their 5th Grade Students to the Nichols for our annual 6th Grade Tour.
Fifth graders were guided by current 6th Grade students as they walked around the building attempting to see and learn all about the building. Many questions were asked and many more were answered.
In the auditorium, Mr. Geoghegan, Ms. Buron, and Ms. Creditor introduced the in-coming sixth grade students to the building, watched the video above, and helped to try to explain that this experience will be a positive one for our new Tigers.
Then on Monday, June 13, Mr. Geoghegan and our 30 6th Grade Guides went to the MKG and HBB 5th Grade Classrooms so the in-coming students had a smaller setting to try to ask and answer any of their questions. They peppered our guides with questions on the schedule, classes, courses, homework, tests/quizzes, sports, after-school activities, clubs, lunch, gym classes, and many, many more.
Here are some pictures of our NMS Guides doing such a fabulous job. Awesome job, Tigers!
We are looking forward to September, and also our 6th Grade Open House / Ice Cream Social on Tuesday, August 30, at 6:30 PM in the NMS Auditorium. (More Info to Come Home to You.)
