We want to make sure that our incoming grade 7 students feel as comfortable as possible when they come to their new school. To do that, we share as much information with students and their families to remove the mystery and fear of coming to Junior High. To support that transition, we:
- We welcome all potential new students to our information evening and open house TBD, date will be listed on our home page in early January.
- Visit our feeder schools, Woodbridge and Mills Haven in early March after the Returning Student Registration is complete. We share a presentation on what to expect at Junior High, as well as the different options that are available for students to choose from.
- To make sure we have answered all of the possible questions, we then go and visit as many elementary schools as possible that are sending students to Clover Bar.
- At the end of May, we invite our feeder schools over to Clover Bar for a school visit where we:
- have a school tour;
- see the school in action;
- hear from some of our Junior High experts about their grade 7 experience;
- learn about and practice a combination lock.
- In August, the day before school starts we host our Grade 7 Orientation for our students where they:
- meet their homeroom teacher;
- meet their homeroom class;
- get their schedule;
- see where their classes are;
- get their locker and their lock.
- students are encouraged to bring their supplies and set up their locker.
- We then start the year with our Grade 7 Welcome Week!
