First off don't worry. Every student in your class will be just as new as you. You won't get edtention for a your first tardy for a minute or two. Be tardy sbveral times and then you will be called down to the office. Maybe a bad locked location markes you late and they can move your locker. There will be lunch supervisors in the lunchroom and they will explain how everything works. Generally you are free to talk with your freinds but not get up and move around. Remember all your 8th grtade buds will be there with you. Good luck.

okay! well 1st of all, dont worry and be yourself! yeah, it sounds cheesy, but it works! be yourself, youll make friends who are just like you, and youll have your own little clique! middle school is where cliques start deveolping, so make sure you hang with the people who you have fun with, not the popular kids. youll be happy with your friends, and the popular kids wont bother you. just take it easy, be yourself, dont worry, and get ready for middle school, baby!

Hey! It depends on your teacher whether you get a detention or not. Generally during the first week of school, they will accept tardies. Try not to make it a habit though. My science teacher in middle school doesn't give you detention. But my social studies teacher does... So it all depends on the teacher! As for the lunch, I usually finish my lunch WAY before the bell rings, so it's alright! I'm sure your friends will too But if you do, just talk with your friends and have a good time. That's what lunch is about!! LOL So good luck in middle school. It's not complicated. Once you get the hang of it (which is around the middle of 6th grade) it should be a BLAST!! good luck
