  • 6Th Grade Orientation Letter
    Ridgely Middle School 443-809-7650 121 E. Ridgely Road · Lutherville, Maryland 21093 Fax: 443-809-7834 Dear Ridgely Middle Families, In support of our students’ successful transitions to Grade 6, we invite students to participate in an Early Entry Day program. Baltimore County Public Schools is excited to announce that it will again host a half-day “Orientation Day" on Friday, August 30, 2019, for students entering Grade 6 for the 2019-2020 school year. Students will participate in a wide variety of activities – designed based on student feedback – to become more familiar with their new school setting prior to the start of school. Students will review their class schedules, visit their lockers, take school tours, and meet all their teachers and the school counselors. Transportation will be provided for those students who are scheduled to take a bus to school. Those students will be picked up at their assigned bus stops at their regularly scheduled times and will be transported home at the end of the half-day schedule. A complimentary lunch will be served to all participating students, and students will be able to add funds to their cafeteria accounts in preparation for the first day of school. The Orientation Day is for students only and will not replace other school-based student-parent orientation activities. More detailed information regarding the Orientation Day, such as specific bus stops, hours of the morning half-day, student schedules, and the agenda for the day, will be included in our “Welcome Back" correspondence in early August 2019. Helpful videos have been prepared for viewing by students and families at home and over the summer.
