This will be a full school day from 7:50 a.m. to 2:20 p.m., designed to help incoming 6th grade students get familiar with middle school and start their year off right! What to Expect on Orientation Day: You'll be spending the day with our amazing 8th grade WEB (Where Everyone Belongs) Leaders. These students are here to help you feel comfortable, confident, and ready to thrive in your first year of middle school.Here's how the day will go: * Kickoff Assembly : We'll start with a welcome in the gym and fun group activities.* Small Group Time : You'll meet in smaller groups with your WEB Leaders, get a tour of the school, and participate in team-building activities.* Mini-Schedule : In the afternoon, you'll follow a shortened version of your class schedule so you know just where to go on your first day! Important Details: * Dress for movement : You'll be active, so please wear comfortable clothes and shoes.* No backpack needed : Leave it at home for the day.* Lunch : Just like a regular school day, you'll eat lunch at school. Bring your own or buy one from the cafeteria.* Transportation : Bus service will be available for those who completed the online transportation opt-in form. Bus info will be posted in Family Access after August.* Phones : Our school has a no cell phone policy -please leave phones at home or keep them completely out of sight.* WEB Leader Call : On August 21 around 2:00 p.m., WEB Leaders will call each 6th grader (using the first parent phone number in Family Access) to remind you about Orientation and answer questions. They'll leave a voicemail if no one answers but won't be able to receive return calls. For Parents & Guardians: 6th Grade Orientation is a student-only event, similar to a regular school day. However, we invite families to join us for a brief parent meeting that morning in the school library after drop-off.
