What are the guidelines in communicating with seven teachers? MIDDLE SCHOOL SOCIAL OPPORTUNITIES How will my student navigate lockers, A days, B days, changing for PE and the new organizational demands of middle school? How will my child be involved in dances and intramurals? HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMICS Credits, scheduling, electives, assessments, and Bridge Plans are just a handful of the topics covered in this breakout.
