Middle School Parents First Day |
 The
first day of school is the day in which the
teacher first contacts his or her students.
It can be crucial to how the year will
progress. First days for Middle and High
School Students are very different than
those for Elementary School Students.
Administrators, Teachers and the students
themselves have different expectations and
at this level which have to be dealt with. |
