Students entering middle school and high school this fall can get a leg up by attending Jump Start at their new school in August.

Jump Start helps students transition smoothly into the academic and social environment of a new school. It provides support in academics, social integration and the practical skills necessary for success in middle school.

During the half-day sessions, students will get help finding their classrooms, learning school routines and making connections with peers and teachers.
