[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know about 9th grade, but pre-covid there was definitely a day for 6th graders to go to an "orientation" right before the first day of school.[/quote]

They have those in AACPS too, but they still have the first day reserved for 6th and 9th graders. Sometimes the older kids come in as mentors and help on tours and mentor freshman in their homeroom classes throughout the year. It’s good for college applications. [/quote]

So you want a second 6th/9th graders only first day? Why not three or four?[/quote]

An orientation right before the first day of school isn’t the same thing as a 9th grader or 6th grader only first day. Orientations are brief and mostly informational. The 9th/6th grader only first day in AACPS is more like an actual day of school where the bells ring and you see all your teachers briefly (20 mins), get tours of the building, have icebreaker activities, get a feel of the school culture, and get a feel of how school will be. You don’t get that experience when you’re sitting in an auditorium next to your parents. [/quote]
