Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school,it’s still important to find where their classrooms are.Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year.And,most schools also have a freshman (新生)speech for parents and students before the first year begins.Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school.This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.
