What is PAMS Rise Up Transition Day?
The purpose of the Rise Up Transition Day is to give incoming 7th graders a sneak peek of the middle school experience through fun and engaging structured activities facilitated by PAMS faculty and staff.
What your student will be doing on this day:
Your student will learn about our school culture, familiarize themselves with the building, get to know new friends, and even practice their lockers. In addition to these essential middle school experiences, your child will also get the opportunity to receive world-class support and insight from our trained Leadership Academy Students (i.e., rising 8th graders).
