Bayonet Point Middle School Unveils New Look at Orientation

NEW PORT RICHEY, FL — Incoming sixth-graders at Bayonet Point STEM Middle Magnet School will get the chance to check out their newly renovated campus before the first bell rings on the 2016-17 school year.

The school has announced its second annual Grade 6 Academy Summer Orientation is set for Wednesday, Aug. 3. The 9 a.m. program at the 11125 Little Road school is designed to give new students and parents a chance to become acclimated before classes start.

“Students will separate into small groups for mini lessons about dress code, tardiness, and electronic policies,” the school district said in an email to media. “They will also meet the guidance team while engaging in school spirit activities.”

As students participate in breakout sessions, parents will learn about transitioning from elementary to middle school. Following the orientation, kids will get their course schedules and have a chance to meet their teachers and visit their new classrooms.

Bayonet Point was remodeled over the summer, so sixth-graders will also get a sneak peek. The first day of school for Pasco County kids is Monday, Aug. 15.
