        6th Grade Orientation    
Future Kelly Middle School students will visit Kelly with their fifth grade classes in the spring. The orientation program is designed to familiarize students with the school, the curriculum, and programs that are offered. Parents are invited to attend an evening session in May. Please check the Norwich Public Schools calendar for dates.

  High School Orientation          

Norwich students can attend  the following secondary schools:
  • Norwich Free Academy
  • Norwich High School
  • Norwich Regional Technical High School
  • Grasso Southeastern Technical High School
  • Ledyard High School - Tuition program
  • Ledyard High School - Agri-Science program
Each school sends a representative to Kelly to provide students with an overview of their program. Students can take field trips to schools they are interested in attending after an application is filled out. The following local private schools also send representatives and provide admission information: Saint Bernard High School and The Academy of  the Holy Family (girls only). In the fall parents are invited to attend High School Night at Teachers' Memorial Middle School to meet with admissions staff from all potential high schools.

The eighth grade guidance counselor has applications for the high schools listed above, and is available to assist students and families with the admission process.
