Easing The Transition Into Middle School in West Babylon
Student tour guides help out during sixth-grade parent and student visit before start of the year.

Prior to the start of the 2014-2015 academic year, the West Babylon Junior High School held its annual sixth-grade parent and student visit to help ease the incoming students’ transition into junior high school.
Twenty-two tour guides, many of whom were National Honor Society members, showed incoming students and their parents the physical layout of the school. Administrators and staff were also on hand to answer questions and concerns.
