[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Math make sure those skills are top-notch.
Ie tutor the summer before if not. Grab the previous year's curriculum and whichever class your child is scheduled for ask a tutor to assess whether the child is ready and if not fill in the holes.
This would be for any private. Usually not more than a couple of sessions. And you need to know what level of math your child is ready for.

OP if you are coming from a religious private then just keep on top of Science as 6th grade rolls around you should be fine with where these schools lack besides math.

Otherwise, the transition should be easy 6th grade all the kids are new so they all learn how to change classes etc together and public schools do a good job with this.

Please ignore the trolls on this board. You are doing a great thing. My youngest did this from a small private to MCPS large MS they graduated from HS off to MIT,[b] just a few years ago. [/b]

Socially they will have to navigate on their own. Be prepared for girls to be obnoxious but that is not exclusive to private. Confidence is key keep working on that.

So many kids do this and people move your child will not be the only one entering 6th grade that went to private before.

It is a good time to do this. For one of mine I waiting til 8th grade and honestly what a waste of money. Public was beyond better. My kids lean math and science hence for us it was a huge win.

DCUM is going to flame me for this but if you can afford it just make sure she has a few outfits that are current style. Nothing expensive just not babyish that kids can get away with in elementary school. Nike, Adidas, Lulu, I'm not up on that set for my kids it was Pac Sun Abercrombie, Hollister, Nike, etc... Again does not have to be expensive, and not crop tops either just teen bopper LOL

Review your school's website make sure you look at the calendar and understand how the grading report system works.

Again I am in MCPS.

Please do not worry believe me you are doing the right thing your child will be better than fine.

Then your information is wildly out of date. [/quote]

Yep.  If your kid is in college they were in MS pre covid.  It's an entirely different world now in public schools. [/quote]
What is different post COVID? Any specific examples? [/quote]

Wondering what pre and post covid middle school looks like[/quote]
