Upper Campus Orientation

As Sarah finished with Lower Campus 1st day of school fun, she headed to Upper Campus to coordinate an afternoon of orientation for new Upper Campus Archway Students.


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.
