Middle School Orientation

August 7, 2025
8:00 am - 10:15 am

Orientation day for all Middle School students is scheduled for Thursday, August 7th. This will be an excellent opportunity for students to familiarize themselves with the school, meet their teachers, and reconnect with (and make new) friends. We will begin at 8:00 a.m., so please plan to drop your child off by 7:50 a.m. Parents, please plan to arrive by 10:15 a.m. to pick up your child. They will be dismissed to the front lawn.  (The orientation time has been revised to 10:15 a.m. since the July parent communication from Anne Dalton.) 

To welcome students back to school, Parents’ Guild will provide all students with a free snowball at the end of orientation! Students will receive a ticket and can visit the truck in the Alumni House parking lot before leaving campus.

Middle School orientation is for students only. However, if parents want to remain on campus but not with their child, the Alumni House foyer will be open. Water and coffee will be available, and administrators will answer questions if needed.
