Board of Trustees Welcome and Orientation for New Families, followed by an all-school cookout at the football stadium.
Summer:
- Each new family is assigned a current family as a “buddy." The buddy family has a child of the same gender and in the same class as the new family. The buddy family will contact the new Spartans during the summer.
- Grade representatives contact all new parents to welcome them to Athens Academy and answer questions.
- For new students we hold a “Back to a New School” Orientation Day. Returning students welcome the new students, play games, take them on tours, and introduce teachers.
- Most grades hold back-to-school parties and include the new students.

First Week of School:
- Homeroom teachers assign a buddy to help kids with schedules, eat lunch with them, and “show them the ropes."
