As part of an annual tradition, Atkinson hosted a fifth-grade orientation for incoming students and their families prior to the start of the 2017-2018 school year.
The program, designed to welcome and introduce students to their school for the next two years, was hosted by administrators and faculty members. Sixth-grade peer leaders also took an active role at orientation, providing a tour of the school to their incoming counterparts and helping to answer any questions they had about the transition from elementary school. The school's administrative team also assured students that staff are always available to offer assistance and to put them in positions to succeed.
The orientation was an informative precursor to another exciting year for Freeport's Class of 2025 and their families.
