Middle School

Your daily schedule will be different from your elementary school schedule. Depending on the middle school you go to, you will have 4-6 blocks (classes) a day with different teachers for each class. You may have classes that are only on A days or B days. This may seem overwhelming, but remember the teachers, counselors, and even other students are there to help you adjust to your new school building and schedule. There will be staff, in the halls, to make sure you don't get lost.

Friendships are an important part of school. Some of you will remain friends with students from Lansdowne, yet moving to middle school gives you the opportunity to make more friends. Making friends in middle school can seem scary, you're in a new environment and may feel uncomfortable. This is a common issue kids face when going into middle school. Smiling, being the first one to say hi, and joining clubs and activities are great ways to meet new people and make friends. Be yourself and remember you don't have to have 20 friends, it's perfectly fine to have just a few.
