Two new prekindergarten students at Ann MacArthur Primary become fast friends during orientation on Aug. 31.

Incoming kindergartners and third graders played with their friends and made new ones at the Bayville Primary, Bayville Intermediate and Locust Valley Intermediate meet and greets on Aug. 28. Students took to the playgrounds, while parents reconnected with each other and got to speak to their building principals ahead of the first day of school on Sept. 6.

On Aug. 30, incoming sixth grade students and their parents were greeted by the new middle school principal Michael Cestaro and faculty for orientation. Students met their teachers and got a tour of the building, while Mr. Cestaro introduced himself and spoke to parents about everything from technology to the daily schedule and exciting events this year. The next day, the Middle School Parents Council hosted students at Soundside Beach for a post orientation party.
