Make Your Mark
Welcome to middle school!
Starting middle school is a time of great
excitement, growth and discovery. Most
students look forward to middle school
because it means they are growing up
and gaining independence. At the same
time, the transition to middle school
can be a little scary. Students may be
apprehensive about meeting a lot of new
people, getting lost in a large school
building, or having a hard time with their
locker combination. We are working hard
to make sure that your child feels at home
when he or she joins our school next fall.

IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

Where Everybody Belongs
Every middle school in the Anoka-Hennepin School District has programming
designed to help students feel comfortable throughout their middle school years.
Where Everybody Belongs [known as
WEB] trains eighth grade student leaders
to welcome sixth grade students to the
school. WEB student leaders help new
students learn survival skills, including
how to use their planners, how to organize their schoolwork and how to get from
class
