Sixth Grade Students Begin Transition to Middle School On Monday, August 21, Pleasant Hills Middle School staff welcomed our incoming sixth-grade students along with their parents for Sixth Grade Open House and Orientation. The program is specifically designed to address student and parent concerns about transitioning to the middle school setting. PHMS teachers and staff are on hand to introduce the students to “all things middle school.” Students go through a practice run of their schedule, meet their new teachers and classmates, learn about course and school expectations, and have time to master their new locker combinations. We look forward to getting to know our new middle school students and take pride in the many things they will accomplish over the next three years. West Jefferson Hills | Fall 2017 | icmags.com 49
