Hello 5th grade parents,

Some 5th grade students will bring home a pre-registration form for 6th grade at Don Haskins. If your child will attend Haskins next year, please assist your child with selecting their core studies, electives and indicate any special programs they participate in. If your child is going to transfer to another middle school, please write that at the top of the form.

Students should return forms to Mrs. Maldonado by Monday, April 13th.

Thank you.

Hola, padres de 5.º grado:

Algunos estudiantes de 5.º grado llevarán a casa un formulario de preinscripción para 6.º grado en Don Haskins. Si su hijo(a) asistirá a Haskins el próximo año, por favor ayúdenle a seleccionar sus materias básicas, electivas e indicar cualquier programa especial en el que participe. Si su hijo(a) se transferirá a otra escuela secundaria, por favor escríbanlo en la parte superior del formulario.

Los estudiantes deben devolver los formularios a la Sra. Maldonado a más tardar el lunes 13 de abril.
