Welcome Incoming 6th Grade Students!
Congratulations on your enrollment acceptance at Oberon! We are looking forward to meeting you and welcoming you to middle school! Please see this information for successful next steps as you prepare for your Oberon Middle School Experience! We are excited to get to know you!
Last Call - Registration and Elective Classes Interest
Most families have already completed this, but a reminder to please complete your registration card if you haven’t already done so and turn it in ASAP. We are still building the master schedule so if you didn’t get it done until now that’s okay. Your student’s elective preferences will still be prioritized the same as all other future 6th graders.
Please visit the following website:: https://oberon.jeffcopublicschools.org/counseling/course-registration,
A helpful document to review is our Oberon Registration Booklet. This will describe all of our elective class offerings as well as other important course information of interest.
If you still need to submit elective preferences, please PRINT and complete the 6th Grade Registration Card. Please drop them off at Oberon, send them to us via postal mail (address below), send by fax to 303-982-2021, or scan and email to sarah.leonard@jeffco.k12.co.us. You may also pick up printed copies from our school office, 303-982-2020.
In order to receive the above forms in a timely manner, we request that families submit these forms as soon as possible to the main office so our scheduling team has this information.
Student Benefits Application
Please complete the Student Benefits Application on https://www.schoolcafe.com/. Students are already given free breakfast and lunch for all students, but completing this form can cause fees to be waived for classes, Outdoor Lab, etc.
It also helps the school’s overall budget to provide more programs and opportunities. Take a look at this letter for more information.

Phase 1: 5th Grade Field Trip during School Day from ~9:30 AM to 12:15 PM
5th grade elementary students will have the opportunity to visit Oberon during the school day. Students from our feeder elementary schools will be given the opportunity to take a field trip and jump on the bus to Oberon around 9:15AM. At 9:30AM they will tour our building and meet teachers, support staff, and observe some showcases from our performing arts elective students.

Choice enrollment students are welcome during this event. Families will just need to arrange drop off (9:30AM) and pick up (12:15PM) for their students since there won’t be bus transportation.

Starting middle school can be an exciting time for students transitioning from elementary school. By definition, transition means the change from one place, state of being, or condition to another place, state of being, or condition. This transition is often complex.
As young adolescents are changing school buildings they are also changing hormonally, mentally, and physically. This transition affects young adolescents’ academic experiences, motivation, self-perception, and self-regulation. This process also affects parents and teachers.
Effective transition programs help students move to a new school and become a part of the new school. With the implementation of transition programs and the support of parents, teachers, administrators, and mental health professionals, this transition can positively impact students both socially and academically.
