Welcoming new students to OBMS and RMS

On August 25, the excitement was real as incoming sixth grade students and their families stepped into Ronkonkoma and Oakdale-Bohemia middle schools for orientation.

With big smiles and a little nervous energy, students were warmly greeted by their principals and assistant principals. They reviewed their schedules, walked the halls, found their future classrooms and got hands-on practice opening their lockers for the very first time.

It was a day full of exploration, anticipation and a fantastic start to the journey into middle school!
