Rock Springs, WY (5/4/19) – Sweetwater County School District #1 will be holding a district-wide transition day supporting all students on the morning of Friday, May 17, 2019. The purpose is to surround students with successful strategies before the end of this school year as they prepare for next year by developing relationships early on with new teachers, other school adults, and fellow students. The goal of this day is to help remove some of the anxiety barriers many students face, even if they’re attending the same school the following year. The transition time is geared to help minimize some of the jitter’s students experience over the summer months and into the fall.
All District schools collaborated so transition activities will occur at the same time. Students will be accompanied by teachers as they switch classrooms or schools during the morning.
