Our Feeder Family
Staying within school feeder patterns plays a key role in creating a smooth, supportive transition for students as they move from elementary to middle school. When schools work closely together, students benefit from a more consistent learning experience, aligned academic expectations and a stronger sense of community. Our feeder family community is a tight-knit group that aims to find opportunities to collaborate across buildings.
