MCS to Host Community Meetings in Southwest Region

Grade Reconfigurations and Boundary Changes

Memphis, Tenn. - Memphis City Schools will host community meetings to discuss the proposed grade reconfigurations and boundary changes for several elementary and middle schools in the Southwest Region effective for the 2013-14 school year, as approved by the Shelby County Board of Education. Information will be shared regarding the loss of the 6th grade at Coro Lake, Double Tree, Ford Road, Graves, Levi, Westwood and White's Chapel Elementary Schools. Rising 6th graders from these elementary schools will attend Chickasaw, Geeter, and Lanier Middle Schools. This will allow 6th graders to benefit from increased academic and extracurricular activities in a full middle school experience and environment. In conjunction with these changes, attendance zones for these middle schools have been slightly altered. Elementary schools in the SW Region will become PK-5 and middle schools will become grades 6-8.

Parents are encouraged to attend any meeting listed below.
