6th Grade Transition to Middle School
Sixth grade parents, it is hard to believe, but it is time to begin thinking about next year as your child moves to the Middle School. A presentation about the Middle School will be held during school hours on March 10th or 11th, with Mr. Renes, Middle School Principal and Mrs. Mitchelson, Middle School Counselor. Information regarding scheduling, class offererings and expectations will be presented. Students will come home with a packet of infomation that day for you to see regarding classes for next year.
Students will also have an opportunity to visit the Middle School in May on a scheduled tour, during the school day. More information will be coming on that.
If you have any questions, regarding the transition to Middle School, please contact the RPI Office.

About Reeths-Puffer Intermediate School

Our fine arts program is outstanding. Over 250 students are in both band and choir. Students begin with instrumental music in fifth grade. They receive instruction in like instrument groups. Our choir and theater department performs two concerts each year with the final performance based on the second semester theater class that students may participate in. The visual arts department produces outstanding art work that is displayed each year at the Muskegon Museum of Art.
Our Service Learning Project, the Peace Garden, is a point of pride in our school. Students and staff care for this area with students performing math and science problems with the measuring and planting of flowers and other material. The garden also serves as a memorial for students and staff who have passed away. Our students actively participate in many community service projects including a food drive, assistance to the Rescue Mission, donating money and time to other local organizations.
Our students are placed in "teams" of two or three core
teachers. Each team has its own name and identity. This
gives students a feel for teamwork so they can associate with
their individual team and classmates.
