Starting the Academic Year

Greetings Everyone,

Though many of us are working to close this school year successfully, we are
also looking at next school year. Getting the school year started with an
appropriate tone is important and can have a long term effect on students and
faculty. I am researching how schools sevrving grades 6-12, or combinations of
those grade levels, start the year.

I would appreciate any feedback that can be provided to the following
questions:
1. Type of school - boarding or day school
2. Grade taught at your school
3. Schedule for 1st day and/or week of school - what does your school do
to set the tone for the year? Matriculation ceremony, opening day ceremoney,
a "welcome" assembly whhere school rules are addressed, etc.
4. Who can I contact at your school with further questions? (Name and
email)

Thank you for your time and assistance,
Respectfully,

Marie L Hone
Communication Arts Department Chair
Norfolk Collegiate School
