This video was created by our students to help students who have not used a locker and because our lockers are a little different than the usual, we hope to help those who find ours a little difficult.

Military children move three times more often than their civilian peers. This equates to students going through approximately six to nine different schools during their academic K-12 years. Studies show that frequent moves cause stress and anxiety adversely impacting students’ academic, social and emotional well-being (Desrosiers, 2014). A systematic and comprehensive student transition program has been shown to positively impact students’ academic and social achievements. The Pacific Transition Program (PTP) was developed to address these issues. The PTP reduces the time it takes for students to adjust to their new school and new environment. The sooner students are integrated into the school and community, the sooner they focus on academic performance and feel adjusted socially and emotionally. Once a week we offer an on-boarding session for our new students. The topics, listed above, will be hosted in partnerships with other school faculty and staff, our military and community counterparts, including our School Liaison Officer (SLO), Teen Center, and our Parent and Teacher Organization (PTO).
The Transition Program delivers four-one hour on-boarding sessions once a week for new students during the Seminar hour.
