Betty, we had a middle school orientation right before school started, I don't think they do anything else? Dana is really enjoying it, even though she keeps getting sent to Homework Hall for stuff like forgetting to put her name on her homework, or forgetting it in her locker, stuff like that. Ahh, adjustments.
Nathan got into Gifted and Talented this year, he is LOVING it. Jacob is having a wee bit of trouble with his teacher, she's kind of a hard*ss. Think Delia's teacher (minus the belittling or we'd have already had him moved to another class). Sigh.

In our town...there is a 6th grade orientation at the beginning of the school year...and then the end of September there is a back to school night when the Parents come to the school...follow their child's schedule and visit the classroom to hear the teacher put on a show. :lol: In November during American Education week...Parents can come into the school during the day and sit in on their child's classes.
Congrats to Nathan!! :yay: Getting into the Gifted and Talented program is a wonderful accomplishment. :D
ETA: I loved this:

WET
PANTS
Come
with me to a third grade classroom....... There
is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and
all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his
feet and the front of his pants are wet. He
thinks his heart is going to stop because he
cannot possibly imagine how this has
happened. It's never happened before, and
he knows that when the boys find out he will
never hear the end of it. When the girls find
out, they'll never speak to him again as long as
he lives...
The boy
believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his
head down and prays this prayer, 'Dear God, this
is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes
from now I'm dead
meat.'
He looks
up from his prayer and here comes the teacher
with a look in her eyes that says he has been
discovered.
As the
teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named
Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled
with water.. Susie trips in front of the teacher
and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the
boy's lap.
The boy
pretends to be angry, but all the while is
saying to himself, 'Thank you, Lord! Thank you,
Lord!'
Now all
of a sudden, instead of being the object of
ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy. The
teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym
shorts to put on while his pants dry out. All
the other children are on their hands and knees
cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is
wonderful . But as life would have it, the
ridicule that should have been his has been
transferred to someone else -
Susie.
She
tries to help, but they tell her to get out.
You've done enough, you
klutz!'
Finally,
at the end of the day, as they are waiting for
the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and
whispers, 'You did that on purpose, didn't you?'
Susie whispers back, 'I wet my pants once
too.. .'
