New student orientation and support

There are many activities designed and organized with the objective of helping our new students feel welcomed and connected. At the beginning of each semester, we have our official “New Student Orientation”. During this orientation, our new students have a chance to meet the Principal, the Counselor, and get to know the school.

Here is a sample agenda of a typical New Student Orientation session:

New Student Orientation
• Breakfast served for new students and their ambassadors
• Welcome by Middle School Principal
• Introduction of new and returning students and their ambassadors by MS Counselor
• Middle School Principal explains the schedule and miscellaneous information
• Student Services (MS Counselor)

In addition to our formal orientation, new students are welcomed by student ambassadors that provide information about social life in school and community and facilitate the students’ transition to our Middle School community. This program is coordinated by Ms. Strauzer, a MS parent and seasoned traveler.
