Transitioning to Middle School

To assist all incoming fifth graders with "need to know scheduling information" as well as Karrer-specific details for transitioning to Middle School, we have created this Karrer 5th to 6th grade webpage.

Please take time as a family to review the information provided on events, how to schedule your classes and how to select a music class. 

We are so excited to have you join our school this fall as a Golden Shamrock! Welcome to Karrer!

Welcome to Karrer!
