Gladden Middle School Summer Transition Program

Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians of the Class of 2012:

You are entering an exciting and important phase in your life – high school. Much of your future success will depend on the efforts and choices you make starting now – both academically and socially. To help you get your high school career off to the right start, you are invited to attend an exciting Summer 9th Grade Transition Program.

The Summer 9th Grade Transition Program will include informational and relationship building activities. You will spend time with your classmates of 2012, have fun, learn about high school life, and discuss graduating with a plan for the future. Topics covered will include class schedules, what to do the first day of school, how to read high school report cards, how zeroes affect grades, creating high school plans, extra-curricular activities and other ways to get involved in school, and a general question-and-answer session to address other concerns and questions.

You won’t want to miss out on this exciting opportunity. Remember to mark your calendar for July 24 for the summer 9^th Grade Transition Program. We look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,

Kelley-Marie Sierra
Gladden Middle School Graduation Coach
