In our school gymnasium

The purpose of this highly recommended orientation is to make the transition from middle school to high school a positive one. Older students will be serving as leaders and mentors to the 9th graders. Large and small group activities are designed to address students’ needs and concerns in an enjoyable manner. Snacks will be provided! 

If you have any questions, please email the Link Crew Coordinator: Azeema Yahya at yahyaa@mdusd.org

 

WHAT IS LINK CREW? 

Link Crew is a nationwide program designed to welcome and support 9th graders by connecting them with Link Leaders, who are positive, responsible, hand-selected 11th and 12th graders. Your student’s Link Leaders will help them feel more comfortable as well as help them achieve success in their first year of high school. Doesn’t that sound great? It is! Your student is encouraged not to bring backpacks, purses, or other like items as the day is quite active. Since the day is active, please make sure that your student wears comfortable clothing that does not restrict movement. Cell phone use is forbidden on this day. This is a student only function so we encourage you to let your child attend on their own.
