THORNTON MAZE DAYS

The entire duration of the day on July 31st is reserved for incoming 6th graders ONLY. Students will be participating in WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) events while parents will be visiting the MAZE days booths. Please pay close attention to the schedule below so there is no confusion regarding when students attend and when parents attend.

What happens at WEB? Students will attend an orientation led by teachers and upper grade students. This is a *student only event and parents may not attend. (*Special exceptions will be made for students who are part of our special education program and require additional assistance. Parents with students who fall under this category should contact Principal Strausbaugh directly at sstrausbaugh@fusdk12.net) Students must attend for the duration of the orientation. Parents may drop off their student at the school and then follow MAZE Day times listed below to participate in the MAZE separately from their student. As part of the WEB orientation, students will receive their school ID and schedule. In addition, they will be invited to join us for lunch.

WEB ORIENTATION #1: Students will start in the large gym (located at the back of the school) for WEB orientation and will end on the blacktop for lunch.
