Only for the 2026-27 school year, all Westfield Middle School sixth-grade students will attend classes at the 6th Grade Campus, located in a dedicated wing within Cool Creek Elementary School.
This one-year transition period provides an allocated, age-appropriate space for sixth graders while the district prepares to move to a two-middle-school model for the 2027-28 school year, with the opening of Westfield Middle School West.
Below are answers to some of the most common questions families have shared.
Where will my sixth grader go to school?
All 6th grade students will attend the WMS 6th Grade Campus housed at Cool Creek Elementary School for the 2026-27 school year.
Although classes are housed inside Cool Creek Elementary, students are still WMS students and will follow WMS expectations and curriculum.
Where should we go for the 6th Grade Open House?
The 6th Grade Open House will be held from 1 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 6 at the Cool Creek 6th Grade Campus. Please enter Cool Creek Elementary via Door 1 at the Main Entrance.
At the Open House, students will be able to:
- Pick up their class schedule
- Find their team and locker area
- Walk their schedule
- Have their school picture taken for their student ID
- Purchase a yearbook
- Pick up pre-ordered PTO school supplies
- Drop off any daily medications with the school nurse
Where is the 6th Grade Meet the Teacher Event?
The 6th Grade Meet the Teacher Event will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 27 at the Cool Creek 6th Grade Campus. Please enter Cool Creek Elementary via Door 1 at the Main Entrance.
What are the 6th Grade school hours?
Even though sixth grade is located at the WMS 6th Grade Campus housed at Cool Creek Elementary, students will follow the Westfield Middle School schedule, not the elementary school schedule.
School start and end times are 8:45 a.m. and 3:35 p.m. (Wednesday Late Start: 9:15 a.m. and 3:35 p.m.), the same as seventh and eighth grade.
Will my student ride the same bus as Cool Creek Elementary students?
No. Transportation for sixth grade follows the Westfield Middle School transportation schedule as WMS now serves grades 6 to 8.
Will sixth graders still be part of Westfield Middle School?
Yes. The 6th Grade Campus is an extension of WMS. Students will continue to be part of the WMS community while learning in their dedicated environment only during this transition year.
Where should I reach out with questions?
For the 2026-2027 school year, WMS contact information is as follows:
- 6th Grade: (317) 867-6300, 17710 Shamrock Blvd.
