Welcome Class of 2016!

It's a big step from the elementary school to middle school—different teachers for different subjects, new cafeteria workers, even a new principal!

To smooth the transition, the staff at Fonda-Fultonville Middle School made a special effort to warmly welcome students and parents of the Class of 2016 (that's right—2016!) during 5th Grade Orientation on Thursday, August 28th.

Superintendent Dr. James D. Hoffman welcomed parents with a light-hearted reminder that it is truly sobering when you realize that you and your child are now old enough to begin middle school. Principal Beth Donovan introduced each of the teachers and support staff who briefly described the middle school routine. Following the presentations, everyone moved on to their homerooms and met their new homeroom teachers.

Thanks to everyone, especially the parents and students for making this night successful. We look forward to seeing our newest students on the first day of classes, Wednesday, September 3rd.
