Incoming sixth graders to Shelbyville Middle School will have orientation on Aug. 3 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Parents must park in the West lot of the middle school, located at 1200 W. McKay Road, and walk their student(s) into the school through the gymnasium doors, where you can sign them in.

Doors open at 5:15 p.m.

Parents can then leave the school and return to the gym at 6:40 p.m. for a question-and-answer session and to pick up your student(s).

While at the orientation, students will tour the school, receive their iPads, meet Shelbyville Middle School staff, and have an opportunity to become more comfortable with the school building.

The first day of school for students in the Shelbyville Central Schools system is Aug. 9.
