Incoming sixth graders got a head start on their middle school experience during a special visit to Albert G. Prodell Middle School on Aug. 28.

Students had the opportunity to walk through the building, follow their class schedules and get familiar with the halls and layout before the first day of school. The visit gave students a chance to find their classrooms, get comfortable in their new surroundings and feel a little more confident about navigating the building when school begins.
