Memorial Junior High School proudly hosted our 7th Grade Orientation, welcoming our future 7th grade students and their families for a morning filled with important information, new connections, and plenty of Memorial spirit!

Students and families had the opportunity to meet Memorial administrators and staff while learning about important information and procedures for the school year. Students then broke into small groups with Memorial staff and our 9th grade Memorial Mentors to learn more about what life at Memorial is really like and get answers to some of their biggest questions.

The morning wrapped up with building tours and an opportunity for students to walk their schedules and get comfortable navigating their new school. The countdown is on! We are so excited to welcome the Class of 2032 to Memorial and officially begin their middle school journey!

Memorial’s Summer Bridge program kicked off this week, welcoming over 200 future Memorial 7th graders for a preview of life at Memorial and helping them get ready for a successful school year! Led by Memorial School Counselor Ms. Jackson and Memorial School Psychologist Mrs. Bryan, Summer Bridge helps students build connections, develop middle school readiness skills, and feel at home in their new school community. During the first week, students participated in community-building activities and circles, received their IDs and laptops, spent time outside enjoying the beautiful weather with activities led by BOCES, and, most importantly, began getting to know their new classmates! It was a wonderful first week for the future Class of 2031! One thing is for sure—this crew is ready for Week 2!

This July, nearly 200 students from across Valley Stream participated in the Valley Stream Central High School District’s Summer Music Program, a three-week intensive designed to develop musical skills while building confidence and a lifelong love of music.

The program serves both students from Valley Stream’s three elementary school districts as well as high school-aged students. Returning student musicians continued developing the skills they acquired during the school year, while incoming fourth graders from Valley Stream 13, 24, and 30 received a valuable head start on instrumental instruction before formal lessons begin in September. All students attended two 50-minute small-group lessons each week.

"One of the highlights of the summer was watching students continue their musical journey outside of the regular school year,” said Monique Retzlaff, Director of Fine and Performing Arts. “Their dedication and the outstanding work of our music teachers made this a rewarding experience for everyone involved.”

Mr. Strauss, Mr. Pearson, and Mr. Jara proudly represented Memorial Junior High School at the National Schools to Watch Conference in Washington, D.C., where Memorial was formally recognized as a National Schools to Watch school.

The conference brings together exemplary middle schools from across the country to share innovative practices through hands-on learning sessions, collaboration with fellow educators, and keynote presentations.

Receiving this recognition for the fourth time is a meaningful reflection of Memorial’s ongoing commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and creating a supportive environment where every student can succeed.
