Transition to High school |
The 8th grade students usually take a trip to visit Cape Henlopen High School during November. All students will travel by bus provided by the district to see what our high school has to offer students in the areas of academics and social club & sports opportunities. Students will take a building tour, learn about pathways and foreign language options. There will also be a Course Fair during the evening hours (date to be announced) for parents and students to gain more knowledge of the exciting opportunities which await future 9th grade Vikings.
Mr. Mattioni, 9th grade transitional counselor from CHHS, will visit with students to help select courses for their 9th grade schedule. Students will receive a copy of the CHHS course book which outlines required courses and pathways.
