The incoming sixth graders of Jonas E. Salk and Wisdom Lane middle schools in the Levittown School District took their first steps through their new hallways and classrooms during their orientations from Aug. 25-27.

Starting in each building's respective auditorium, students were welcomed by principals and staff who shared guidance on the upcoming school year. Older Peer Leaders guided groups on tours throughout the building, pointing out key spots like the nurse and guidance offices and sharing insight on where they found success, such as clubs or athletics. Upon obtaining their locks, sixth graders located their lockers and learned how to put in the combination. The Salk and Wisdom Lane orientations help ensure a smooth start to the school year as students begin on Sept. 2.
