[quote=Anonymous]Take advantage of all the official visit or orientation days, and perhaps do extra visits if possible. The sheer size of the building is intimidating, and learning to navigate it is the first culture shock. One of my kids was bused in 8th grade to her high school for first period, and also played her middle school concerts in the high school's auditorium, and honestly it made a huge difference compared to my other kid, who was parachuted into the building in 9th for the first time. Also, if your kid took advanced classes in 8th, then it will help with academic expectations for 9th. Maybe brush up on math and history/civics facts over the summer if they're taking harder math and AP Gov or APUSH in 9th. They should know how to use a planner, paper or digital, and be prepared to work every day on homework.[/quote]
