Fifth Grade

5th Grade

Welcome to 5th Grade!

Welcome to 5th Grade! This is an exciting year filled with leadership opportunities, academic growth, and memories that will last a lifetime. As the oldest students in our elementary school, fifth graders set a positive example for younger students while preparing for the exciting transition to middle school.

One of the highlights of 5th grade is the opportunity to serve as a Safety Patrol. Patrol members demonstrate responsibility, leadership, and school pride while helping make our campus a safe and welcoming place for everyone. We look forward to watching our students grow into confident leaders throughout the year.

Be sure to keep learning over the summer by participating in the Summer Slide Challenge! Reading daily, practicing math skills, and completing the challenge activities will help you return to school ready for a successful year.

This page will be your source for important announcements, classroom updates, learning resources, and special events throughout the school year. We encourage families to stay connected and check back often.

We're looking forward to an incredible year of learning, leading, and making lasting memories together. Welcome to 5th Grade.  We can't wait to see all that you'll accomplish! 💙💛

Safety Patrol Information

Safety Patrol is an amazing program that fosters independence, responsibility, and confidence. We are choosing patrols who are at school every day and on time, who turn in their classwork and homework consistently, get required I-Ready lessons completed, and are showing role model behaviors.

All MACS Patrols Must

Be a Role Model

  • In the classroom, and on campus showing respect to students and adults
  • Be on team player and a problem solver

Be a Dedicated Student

  • Participate in class activities
  • Complete homework and classwork and I-Ready lessons in math and reading on time

Are Responsible

  • Following directions the first time they are given
  • Adhering to the school dress code
  • Consistently attend school, and are on time and at assigned patrol posts

Safety Patrol will begin the first 2 weeks of school. Students who are a role model, a dedicated student and are responsible will earn their belts after that!
