Incoming 6th grade Orientation

• Thursday, August 29th, 2024
• 1:30-3:30pm

The event is for incoming 6th grade students only.  No parents, guardians, or siblings for this event.

6^th Grade Orientation includes an engaging introduction to the JAMS community, fun get-to-know-you games in Advisory groups led by current 8th grade student leaders and a school tour. It is a chance to make connections with other students, have fun, and get to know the school. 6^th graders will meet the 8^th grade WEB leaders who will be supporting them for the entire school year. (WEB stands for Where Everyone Belongs.)

Please drop-off students for the 6th grade event… (location pending construction progress) at 1:30pm

We will have signs directing students where to enter the school and check-in.  Once students arrive, they will get name tags and join their Advisory group. We will have lists of student names by Advisory to help students know where to go! They will meet their 8^th grade WEB leaders and settle in for orientation.

After a brief welcome, students will then participate with their Advisory groups in a series of ice breakers and community building activities and take a school tour. There will also be opportunities for incoming 6^th graders to ask questions about what middle school is like and how to be prepared for the first day.

The event will end at 3:30 pm with pick-up…(TBD based on construction)

If your student is unable to attend orientation, please do not worry. The first week of school has lots of opportunities for building tours, reviewing expectations, and community building activities. We are excited to welcome your students to JAMS!

If you would like to connect on your student and accommodations for 6^th Grade Orientation Day, please reach out so we can ensure we have the proper supports in place.
