Making the Transition to the Higher Grade School

They are movin’ on up.

Students who are about to graduate into a new school — say, intermediate from elementary, or from intermediate to high school — can attend a transition event to help explain the difference.

Toms River Regional Schools’ students and their parents can attend the sessions, which are scheduled during evening hours.

The district annually provides the “Transition Forums,” and says they are educational and informational opportunities to assist parents and students in making a smooth transition to the higher grade.

According to the district, the focus is on explaining academic success strategies, and to also try and allay fears or misconceptions.
