8th GRADE STUDENT ORIENTATION

Tuesday, September 8 & Thursday, September 10, 2020

In-Person Tours

All 8th grade students are encouraged to attend tours led by our Guidance & Counseling Department to get familiar with the school building prior to the start of school. Masks are required at all times in the building. Students can find team designation (blue or silver) on their Aspen portal. Please use the community entrance at the back of the building to park and enter the school. Please note that parents and guardians are no longer able to enter the school building. Counselors will be available at the end of tours to answer questions outside.

If you are unable to attend during the assigned time or have any questions, please contact Grade 8 Counselor Caitlyn Hall at chall@monomoy.edu.
