Parents were quickly whisked away on a tour of the campus in the capable hands of Ms. Shauna. We got a sneak peek at the computer lab which isn’t done justice by my photo and received much praise by the parents on the tour.
I snuck away from the tour early to see what was planned for the students. It was a nice crowd representing a considerable increase to the Upper Campus student body.
Sarah introduced the staff and reviewed the afternoon schedule with the students. It included a tour, a scavenger hunt and question and answer session. She went on to talk a bit about Archway and those things most valued in the Archway community. In a smooth move making things easy to remember, she connected the emphasis on Academics, Responsibility, Community (both the Archway community and the broader community), and Hands-On Learning with the ARCH in Archway. I know the students walked away with a stronger sense of Archway and thus from a successful orientation.
