East Quogue School’s sixth grade graduates are now officially seventh grade students at Westhampton Beach Middle School. On Aug. 28, the class attended an seventh grade orientation program, which was a fantastic opportunity for them to come together with students from different schools, meet their new classmates and receive a glimpse of what the year ahead holds.

The excitement and enthusiasm were palpable as our students took their first steps into this new chapter of their educational journey. It was wonderful to see them connecting with one another and starting to form the bonds that will carry them through their middle school years.

We’re looking forward to a great year ahead filled with growth, learning, and new experiences.
