Rising 6th Grade Night

Camp Road Middle School hosted it's annual Rising 6th Grade Night on February 6, 2025. It was a great opportunity for our future Cougar families to hear about what Camp Road has to offer and see the school.

If you missed this event, we are sad that we didn't get to meet you, but we want to make sure you have all the information that was shared. We want all of our students and families to feel prepared for and excited to start Middle School.

You will find all of the information that was shared below. After you review the below information, please submit any questions you have by clicking the "I Have a Question" button below.

Unfortunately, tour appointments are reserved for families that do not currently attend a James Island school AND are moving to James Island. As a school we look to provide several opportunities through the year for our island families to visit Camp Road. Please join us for one of these upcoming events:

• School Improvement Council Meeting - February 25 6:00-7:00PM
• Math and Science Night - February 27 5:00-7:30PM
• Coffee and Conversations with Ms. Rowehl - February 28 9:00-10:00AM
• School Improvement Council Meeting - March 25 6:00-7:00PM
• Coffee and Conversations with Ms. Rowehl - March 28 9:00-10:00AM
• Shrek The Musical - April 3 and 4 6:00-8:30PM
• Book Fair Night - TBD

The presentation was intended to give parents and students a general understanding of what Camp Road has to offer. We shared information about:

• Academic Classes
• Honors Requirements
• Gifted Services
• Exceptional Children Service
• Related Arts Classes
• Dress Code Policy
• Cell Phone Policy
• Dismissal App
• Student Support Services
• Overview of what 6th grade looks like
• Athletics
• Clubs
• PTO Information
• Timeline for RA Choices and Core Class Placement

To start to prepare for the transition to middle school, there are two things families can focus on now.

1. Start to discuss which Related Arts Option is the best fit for your child and family. Sixth graders have three options for Related arts:

1. Option 1 - Take all of the non-music RA classes
2. Option 2 - Take one music class, PE, Health, and two RA classes that will be randomly selected.
3. Option 3 - Take two music RA classes

Students will choose their related arts option at the beginning of April when the CRMS Administration visits the 5th grade classes. You will be informed when this is scheduled, so you can prepare your child.

2. Core class placement in 6th grade can be impacted by 5th grade core class grades. The best thing scholars can do to set themselves up for success in middle school is to finish their 5th grade year strong. Focus on making progress in all content areas, so they have the knowledge and skills to set them up for success next year.
