What's Happening
Welcome to our 5th grade science and social studies website.
​
As you head off to middle school, we want you to know how proud we are of everything you’ve accomplished. You’ve grown in so many ways: as students, leaders, and critical thinkers. Your hard work and kindness have made our school a better place.
​
Middle school will bring new opportunities, new challenges, and exciting adventures. Be confident, stay curious, and never stop believing in yourselves. Remember that it’s okay to make mistakes, that’s how we learn.
Ms. Cobos, Ms. Valdes, and I will miss your energy, laughter, and spirit, but we can’t wait to see all the incredible things you will achieve in the years ahead.
Congratulations, fifth graders . . . your next chapter begins now!
Welcome to Dennis Ortwein Elementary School Room C 212
