‘New Kid on the Block’ program offered
at elementary schools Mon., August 27
The district’s annual
“New Kids On The Block”
program will be held Monday,
August 27, at 4:30 p.m.
The New Kid program
originally was designed to
aid families who were new
to the Perrysburg community
in making a smooth
transition to a new school
environment. Through the
years, the definition of new
has expanded to include
those children who have
moved from one residence
to another within Perrysburg,
and will be attending a
different school this fall.
Also invited to this program
are students who have not
actually moved but are sim-
ply transferring to a new
building through the district’s
open enrollment option
or from private or
parochial schools.
At the program, which
lasts an hour, students will
be dropped off and have an
opportunity to meet other
new students as well as their
classroom Big Buddies.
Buddies are student volunteers
who are specially
trained to welcome new students.
Pizza and pop will be
provided for the students
participating in the program.
Children who are unable to
eat pizza should bring an alternative
option.
In the past, a new parent
Perrysburg Schools
2012-13 Calendar
meeting was held while new
students met their Big Buddies.
This year there will not
be a new parent meeting. Elementary
counselors ask
that parents drop their children
off for the program
which will provide students
the opportunity to interact
independently with each
other.
Once the students have
enjoyed the time at the program
getting to know their
Big Buddies, parents can
pick up their children at 5:30
p.m., and enjoy Preview
Night activities which begin
immediately following in
each elementary building.
