There's no better way to start a new year than enrolling in a new school. As the expression goes, "new year, new me." New students have the opportunity to make new acquaintances when they transfer schools. These new students walked in to our school seeking a new beginning or simply a different setting. If you see these new students, introduce yourself and offer a friendly welcome. Remember the golden rule: "Treat others the way that you would want to be treated."
