Dear Parent or Guardian,
In support of our students entering grade 9, we invite all incoming students to participate in an Early Entry program. Baltimore County Public Schools is excited to announce that it will again host a half-day “Orientation Day" on Thursday, August 30, 2018, for students entering grade 9 for the 2018–2019 school year. Students will participate in a variety of activities to become familiar with their new school setting, prior to the start of school. Students will review their class schedules, take a school tour and meet their counselor, teachers and administration.
Transportation will be provided for those students who are scheduled to take a bus to school. They will be picked up at their assigned bus stops during their regularly scheduled times. Students will also be transported home at the end of the half-day schedule. A complimentary lunch will be served to all participating students.
The Orientation Day is for students only and will not replace other school-based student-parent orientation activities. Additional information regarding the Orientation Day, specific bus stops and student schedules will be included in our “Welcome Back" correspondence in August.
Helpful videos have been prepared for viewing by students and families at home and over the summer. These videos share experiences and helpful information about the transition to high school. The videos are available on the main BCPS website under the “Students Page,” “Welcome Students,” and then the “Making the Transition” box.
We are looking forward to welcoming our new grade 9 students on Thursday, August 30, 2018 at 7:30am. Although the program is not required, we hope your child will take advantage of this opportunity. Should you have any questions regarding Orientation Day, please contact us at 443 809-0660. The first regular day of school for all students is Tuesday, September 4, 2018.
Respectfully,
Kyria Joseph
Principal
