Campus Connection Passport Activity

Starting at a new school or transitioning into middle or high school can feel overwhelming. This engaging, student-friendly passport activity encourages students to explore their school, meet key staff members, and learn about important campus locations through a fun scavenger hunt–style experience.

Students visit essential school spaces, collect signatures or stamps, answer reflection questions, and build familiarity with the people and resources available to support them throughout the year. By the end of the activity, students will have a stronger understanding of how their school works and feel more comfortable seeking help when they need it.
