Athey Notes
August 13, 2021
Welcome
Dear Athey Creek Families,
Student Schedules
2021/2022 Student Orientation (In-Person)
Since students will be starting at Athey Creek having experienced a wide array of educational programming during the 2020/2021 school year, we are planning orientation activities for ALL students in an effort to renew the amazing culture of Athey Creek Middle School.
Sneak Peek
Sneak Peek is an opportunity prior to the first day of school for students to walk their class schedule and to find and open their locker, multiple times if necessary. This is an independently paced, “open house” style of event. Eighth grade leadership students will be present to answer questions and support you and your student as you move throughout the school.
Sneak Peek is open to ALL students, grades 6-8 who are wanting the opportunity to familiarize themselves with their classrooms and their lockers prior to the first day of school.
We will host two Sneak Peek opportunities this year:
Wednesday, September 1st from 4:00-7:00
Thursday, September 2nd from 1:00-4:00
Parent Packet
Please watch for a packet of information to come home with your child the first week of school. It will contain information about picture day on Sept 15th, as well as PTSA paperwork and other important information. Each student will also get their own planner for use during the whole school year. We strongly encourage you to help your student use their planner to keep organized.
First Day of School
This year, the first day of school for ALL students is Tuesday, September 8th. School begins at 9:15 and ends at 3:45. The theme of this day will be Care & Connection as we welcome students to Athey Creek and establish, renew, and grow the relationships among students and staff. The day will start with three separate welcome assemblies, one for each grade level. Each assembly will be differentiated based on the grade level’s familiarity (or unfamiliarity) with Athey Creek. After grade level assemblies, students will attend all of their classes startin with their Advisory class. The focus of their time in each class will continue to be relationship building with one another and with the Athey Creek staff.
Please note, students will NOT need any materials (backpack, school supplies, etc.) on this day.
First Two Weeks
During the first two weeks of school, we will operate on an Advisory schedule each day. During each Advisory class, students will engage in lessons and activities to continue developing their connection to the Athey Creek community. Lessons and activities will help students more fully understand what is expected of them at Athey Creek and how they can meet their potential as a student at Athey Creek.
For your student to be as connected to Athey Creek Middle School as possible, please make plans for them to attend a Sneak Peek opportunity. We will continue growing that connection on September 7th. Our hope is that, at the end of the first two weeks, ALL students will feel a strong connection to Athey Creek Middle School.
