Grade 6 to 7 Transition Easing the Transition to Middle School

On May 9, current Grade 6 students attended a panel discussion led by five Grade 7 and 8 students, Emirhan B., Harry G., Sam B., Nicholas Y., and Jake G. The Grade 6 students were given the opportunity to pose questions about the first year of Middle School and the most challenging parts about the transition to Grade 7. Questions from the Grade 6 were varied, some of which revolved around the shift from homerooms to core groups, having multiple teachers, the addition of a new cohort of students, lockers, workload, and the Veritas Golden Tie. All the students showed a great deal of interest and maturity! -Mr. Lajoie, Head of Elementary and Middle School
