6th Grade

Dear 6th Grade Families,
Welcome to Cowan Road Middle School and the beginning of an exciting new chapter in your child’s academic journey! We are so excited to welcome our newest Panthers to the middle school family. This transition from elementary to middle school is a major milestone, and we are here to make it as smooth, supportive, and rewarding as possible.
Sixth grade is a year of exploration, growth, and discovery. Students begin learning how to manage multiple classes, build relationships with new teachers and peers, and develop the skills necessary for lifelong learning. At CRMS, we are committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and academically engaging environment where every student can thrive.
We believe that strong partnerships between families and the school are essential to student success. We encourage you to stay informed by visiting the CRMS website, checking for grade-level updates, and attending parent meetings and school events throughout the year. If you have questions or concerns, our team is here to help and support you every step of the way.
Please take some time to review important information posted on our website, including supply lists, class schedules, and tips for a successful transition to middle school. We look forward to guiding and supporting your child throughout their first year at CRMS and all the way to graduation as part of the Class of 2032.
Let’s make this year an amazing experience—one full of learning, leadership, and Panther Pride!
Warmly,
The CRMS 6th Grade Team
