Copiague Middle School hosts Sixth-Grade Orientation

To help acclimate the incoming sixth graders to the middle school, the Copiague School District continued its yearly tradition of holding a barbeque and orientation for students and parents.

"Welcome to the last step of what we hope was a comprehensive program geared to help ease the transition from elementary school to middle school," stated Middle School Principal Andrew Lagnado. "Today is about the kids, to help them get the layout of the building, practice with their lockers and meet their teachers."

During the orientation, the students and their parents were taken on a tour of the building by their homeroom teacher, given their schedule and locker combination, and met with fellow incoming sixth graders. To culminate the event, the PTA helped organize a barbeque where students and parents were treated to hamburgers and hot dogs as they discussed the events of the day and prepared for the start of school. Also at the orientation this year, a representative of the Copiague Public Library was on hand to sign students up for a library card if they wished.
