Bayport-Blue Point Freshmen Get Oriented

At Bayport-Blue Point High School’s freshman orientation on Aug. 26, Dr. Gaurav Passi, the school’s principal, welcomed the 181 members of Bayport-Blue Point’s Class of 2018 and introduced them to the school’s assistant principals, class advisers and guidance counselors.

“Our goal is to give you an overview of the high school so you feel comfortable on Day 1,” said Passi, encouraging students to set goals and get involved in school activities. “Our job is to make you a successful student.”

“I suggest your play a sport or join a club,” said senior representative Lizzy Geoghan, a Sportsmanship Award winner on last year’s girls tennis team and goalie for the lacrosse squad. “There’s a club for everyone and being involved is a great resume builder.”

After the assembly’s conclusion, other upperclassmen volunteered to provide tours of the building for the new freshmen.
