Clinton Junior High School sixth-grade students and students new to the district get back in the classroom this Wednesday, followed by the rest of the student body on Thursday.

Principal Jim Peck calls the first day just learning how to be a junior high student, with six stations students will stop at throughout the day. 

One thing Peck wants his students to know is that you are never too old to ask for help. He explains junior high is an interesting age because students are growing and gaining independence, but they can always ask for help.

While junior high students start learn while gaining more independence, Peck notes they try to help sixth graders through the transition of being accountable to themselves - where that skill will come into play in seventh grade and beyond.

Sixth-grade students and students new to the district will be in the building on Wednesday, while the rest of the student body returns to school on Friday. We'll hear more from Peck in the days ahead about the start of school on Regional Radio.
