Going into Middle School feeling academically and emotionally prepared will remove an enormous stressor from your pre-teen as they transition to middle school. Take a few hours at the end of your summer to help students understand how middle school works and what they have to look forward to!

At each school, students will be divided into groups to help them learn the layout of the building, learn how to get into their lockers, run through their schedule, and introduce themselves to new students and to the teachers.  Students attend just ONE of the available days at their specific middle school: July 28 (AM or PM session) or July 29, 2026 (AM session only).

There will be an optional parent session held at the very beginning of each session, lasting approximately 30 minutes. This is a separate parent session (parents/guardians will NOT attend the same sessions as the students).
