Transition to School

At the beginning of new school year, students make a transition from one grade level to another.  During this time they experience difficulties.  Students entering school for the first time usually experience separation aniexiety.  Some are frighten and have a fear regarding school.  Others are excited and eager to attend. The state of Alabama and the Mobile County Public School System has implemented a bridges program.  This program is design to help students make the transition from one grade level to the next,whether its elementary, middle, or secondary.  The program is usually held during the summer month of July.  Students become familiar with the environment, teachers, and the administration staff.  When the regular school begin, these students are ready for the transition.
