Friday, August 19th
9:00 am – 1:00 pm

We hope that your family is having an enjoyable summer! As mentioned in the Global Connect call, we had to reschedule this event due to construction delays on the new middle school.

Central Cambria Middle School is excited to be able to offer a one-day program aimed at preparing 6th grade students for a smooth transition to middle school. Middle school is a time in which students experience many different changes and are faced with a variety of challenges. Some of these changes occur physically/emotionally, socially, academically, and personally as per their individual experiences. For some students, transitioning from elementary school to middle school can be an exciting new adventure; however, for other students, it can be confusing and stressful. Students in transition may experience difficulty due to differences in school structure, teacher and academic expectations, forming new friendships, and peer pressure.

Whether students transition from elementary school to middle school or grade-to-grade, they need to be equipped with the skills and resources to successfully adapt to the anticipated changes. The goal of the program is to help students feel prepared to begin their middle school journey and will focus on developing study skills, setting goals, reducing stress and anxiety, making positive decisions, handling peer pressure, encouraging participation in activities, building friendships, and developing self-esteem and communication skills.

We hope that your child can participate in the program. In addition to the valuable skills the students will obtain, this is a great opportunity for them to build friendships as well. Students are not required to attend. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide transportation for this program. Please drop students off at the main entrance of the High School. For planning purposes, students who are attending must be registered by Monday, August 15th. Students will be provided with a pizza lunch. If you have any questions about the program or would like to register your child, please contact Robin Ribarich by email: rribarich@cencam.org or by phone: (814) 472-6505 ext. 101.
