Parents of 8th Graders:
Even though the school year has just begun, it is already time to think about high school for our 8th grade students. All the high schools in our area provide some sort of introduction to their high school program. Most begin in the fall with Parent Nights, followed by shadowing opportunities through fall and winter and welcome events in the spring. It is very common for 8th graders to shadow at least one high school. Shadowing allows eight graders to visit a high school of interest, interact with high school students, and get to know a day in the life of high school student.
Included below are the web addresses of some of the local high schools. Find the high school home page and look under Parent/Community tabs. Look for key words such as 8th grade transition or parent information night or student shadowing. You should find all the information on the website. Alternatively, you can call the school directly for information. Please remember that shadowing slots fill-up quickly.
