Yesterday was the beginning of a new and exciting way to help our PBES 5th grade students make the transition from the elementary school building to the Jr. /Sr. High school building. Our new Chief at PBJH/HS, Mr. Bartel, and his team brought a vision to USD #398 to create a culture of lasting relationships and bonds that go beyond high school graduation.
Our 7th grade and 5th grade students are paired up to learn more about one another and give our transitioning 5th graders a sense of security and comfort as they prepare to change buildings in the upcoming 2023-24 school year. This is done in hopes of easing any discomfort and allow for students to have familiar faces for any questions that may arise, concerns they may have, or for simply just a friendship.
On Tuesday, students were introduced to one another, paired, and given a “Get to know you,” Bingo card to complete. This helped get students out of their comfort zone to build some new, meaningful connections.
In the next steps of this process, the 5th grade students will travel to PBJH to get a glimpse into their futures.
