This day is an important part of the MS back-to-school experience, so please let us know if your child has any conflicts. More details about all these events are below as well as some to-dos before August 31.

In addition to the student programming, new parents/caregivers are invited to join us on campus for their own Welcome Event from 1 to 2 p.m. Parents/caregivers will have the opportunity to chat with each other, returning Middle School parents/caregivers, and administrators.

We are excited to introduce you to our instrumental music and choral program!

Every Beaver MS student participates in our music program, taking music classes for the whole school year. During the matching process, students will meet other new students, music faculty, and some Middle School teachers. They will also try all the instruments we offer in our music program while taking notes and providing feedback on their experience and their preference. The matching process also allows the music teachers to observe students playing the instruments and singing. At the end of the process, the teachers meet to match students with their instruments based on all the feedback and the open spaces in each ensemble.

Before August 31, please have your child watch this video to learn more about the MS Music Program. It will introduce students to the instruments and give them a sense of how the day will go.

After music matching, students will have lunch and engage in other new student orientation events and activities.

Students should wear comfortable shoes for field games, and bring a water bottle and their laptop and charger.

As a reminder, don't forget to check the Back to School page for key dates, the materials list, FAQs, and additional resources.

We are looking forward to seeing you on August 31!
