Today was our school's first day, and I am pleased to say that it went very well. Usually I anticipate students who might be having a rough start to the school year, issues with transitioning, fear of something new, worries, etc. But I had NOTHING but a fun day! Students were excited to be there teachers were welcoming and helpful as usual, and parents were super! I think I have died and gone to heaven!
I think this is in part due to the fabulous job our district elementary counselors and our building principal and teachers work together to provide a smooth transition program for students and their families.
Students in our district go to elementary buildings from K -4 and then to my building for 5-6. We all work hand in hand to make sure questions are answered, kids and families see the building and are comfortable with it, and to communicate and roll out the welcome mat for our new families/students. I think we do a GREAT job at this.
So ta all the K-6 Methacton Elementary Counselors and to Mrs. Gorla, the Skyview Principal, Mr. Smink, the Assistant Principal, and all the 5th grade teachers at Skyview, THANK YOU on behalf of our 5th grade student body, for being part of a great transition program for our families and students.
