<p>Hello community,</p>

<p>Hello community,</p>
<p>Does anyone offer a freshman seminar or some class-equivilent? I have discussed this idea with our counseling staff and we feel that our students could benefit from such a class. If you do offer something, what is the structure? My feeling is that if this class is not offered early then students miss out on the purpose. Our students really lack study skills and the understanding of what it means to be freshman. Becuase we are a 8-9 middle school we do not have upper classman to model appropriate behaviors for our students. I like Scott's idea that the transition should take place throughout the year. Our district has attempted to do a summer transition program but that is more of a headache than a solution. </p>
<p>Any ideas are appreciated.</p>
