Freshmen cover a variety of topics focusing on the transition to Natick High School. Topics include, but are not limited to, relationship building, school involvement,  time management exercises, school resources, mid-year exams, semester grading, and community service. Students are also led through a peer empathy unit designed to foster empathy and an affirmative school community and climate.
