Welcome to the start of an exciting new chapter at our middle school!

As your principal, I want to extend a heartfelt greeting to all of our incoming 6th grade students and their families. We know that beginning middle school can bring a mix of emotions—excitement, nervousness, curiosity, and everything in between. Please know that you are not alone on this journey. Our entire staff is here to support you every step of the way.

We’re proud to continue our school-wide theme for the 2024–2025 school year: “All Hands On Deck.” This theme laid a strong foundation last year, and we saw incredible growth in our students as a result. We’re excited to build on that momentum together this year, with every student, staff member, and family playing a vital role in our shared success.

To help ease the transition, we invite all 6th grade students to attend our 6th Grade Orientation on August 7th from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM. This will be a great opportunity to meet teachers, make new friends, tour the school, and get a feel for what middle school life is all about. Use this link to register!

In the interim, if you or your Falcon needs anything or has any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly at gsjones@henrico.k12.va.us.

We can’t wait to meet you and begin this adventure together!
