August 29, 2014 -- August 27th was a warm sunny day when Principal Dr. Marc Ferris and Assistant Principal Rachel Green welcomed the incoming Sixth Grade Class of 2014-15 to North Shore Middle School. Over 250 students were graciously greeted by the middle school administrators, faculty and staff and participated in an orientation. It was an exciting time for each of them as they met up with their old friends from elementary school and met new peers from the other two schools. |
Educators Club (Peer Leaders) who led group tours of the school and classrooms, assisted them with their lockers, and answered any questions or concerns to help make their transition to high school easier. They even engaged them in class building skills and fun games. Approximately, 225 students in the incoming freshman class were excited to reunite with their friends from the middle school and enjoy a class BBQ!
Many thanks to Mr. Rodahan and Mr. Peroni for grilling such delicious food and the many custodians who assisted in making this day a success as well as the high school look so beautiful! Additionally, in attendance were administrators, directors, faculty, and staff. Many thanks to the HS PTO for all of their assistance during the orientation. Best of luck to the incoming freshman class during your high school years!

Principal Ferris prepared them for their first year of middle school by introducing them to teachers and staff as well as explained their team colors and schedules. Additionally, he reiterated the school slogan, Everyone Matters, Everyone Cares, Everyone Learns, and assured his students that, “North Shore Middle School is a place where everyone feels that they matter, where everyone takes the time to care about the individual needs of others, and where everyone feels safe and inspired to learn.”
During the orientation, seventh and eighth grade students were on hand to help the sixth graders take a tour of their classrooms, open their lockers, and participate in fun meet and greet games. Everyone enjoyed a delicious BBQ sponsored by the Middle School PTO. We wish all of the six graders the best of luck!
