Dear Future Spartan Families:

As we enter April, we are even closer to welcoming our current 5th-grade Kipling and Walden students to our Spartan family! Below, you will find important dates and upcoming events designed to help our newest Spartan Families get ready for middle school. There has been a virtual option added for the 6th-grade parent night on April 17th for families who cannot make it in person.


Mark your calendars, check out the event descriptions, and feel free to reach out with any questions! We cannot wait to meet you soon.


Sincerely,


Rob Wegley, Principal

Cathy Van Treese, Associate Principal

Ginger Logemann, Director for Student Services

Incoming 6th Grade Family Night: April 17th 6:30-7:30 pm: Please join us in person at Shepard for this ADULTS ONLY night. We will be going over what you need to know about Shepard and middle school to support your students during the upcoming school year! If you cannot make it in person, here is a virtual link to join us!


Fly Up Day: June 5th 9:00 - 11:00 am: Students will come with their 5th grade classes to visit Shepard! This will give them a chance to meet teachers, see the school, and learn what it means to be a Spartan!


Spartan Day: August 13th 1:00-3:00 pm and 4:00 - 6:00 pm: All Shepard students are invited with their families to come walk their schedules and drop supplies off at their lockers. There are two time frames available as listed above—families do not need to attend both. All students, but certainly 6th-grade students, are encouraged to bring their locks home to practice their combinations. Teachers will not be present on this day.


First Day of School: August 18th 8:00-11:00 am: Students will attend a half day of school and will be dismissed at 11:00 am!


6th-Grade Social Bash: August 22nd 3:00 - 4:30 pm: Immediately following the school day, all 6th-grade students will be invited to a fun after-school social!
