Back to School Information

Thursday, August 21 - New Students and Families Orientation, 1pm-2:30pm
At orientation, all 6th grade students will report directly to the gymnasium and new 7th and 8th graders who are first time students at Patapsco Middle School will report to the media center. Students will have an opportunity to follow their schedule and meet their teachers, practice with their lockers, and learn all about what Patapsco has to offer. 
Parents and guardians will meet in the cafeteria. This will be a time to hear from the Patapsco administrators and staff, learn about supports for students and ask questions during a brief Q&A. 

We look forward to meeting our new Knights!
