Hope this helps:

Don't be shy! This is easier said than done for many people but it is essential. Even if you are painfully shy by nature you are in a new environment and nobody at your new school know about your shyness. So put on a big smile and start out by being friendly to everybody you see.
Introduce yourself to people when you find a seat in class. Sit down in a place where you feel comfortable (yes, the back of the class is OK) and make a point if saying hello to the people sitting near. A good opening line; "Hi, my name is Joe and I'm new here. Do you know, is this teacher any good?"
Find your niche group. Look for the type of people you were friends with in your old school and approach them. Ask if you can join them for lunch or during class look to pair up with somebody from that group. Believe it or not the majority of teens are more than happy to make a new friend.
Join a club or a team. This is the easiest way to meet people at a new school (or meet new people at your old school) because while being an organized event it is in a much more casual setting than the classroom. You get a chance to spend time with peers who have similar interests to yours and you get to bond with them in a more laid back environment.
Don't be afraid to stand out. If you are good at a certain sport or do well in a certain subject don't be afraid to strut yourself. People are drawn to people with talent and stifling yours to avoid being a show-off will only end up hurting you. So if you have a special talent or skill make it known.
Be mindful of prosocial norms at your school. This simply means try to fit in by observing the positive norms at your school. If your new school is a big football school become a fan. If your school is more academically inclined join a study group. Find out what makes your school tick and join in the fun.

Have a great year !!

You'll do fine, with some hard work to make friends, you'll be fine before you know it.

You wont have a hard time making friends. It really isn't as bad as it seems. You are just nervous. Calm yourself and think positive. If you see somebody who looks interesting then go up to them and talk to them. Look for people that you have things in common with such as: clothing styles, hair styles, hobbies, ect.
Freshman year isn't that bad. For the first half of the year it's review. Make sure you don't slack off though. Freshman year isn't worthless like everybody says. It counts toward your GPA and can help you get into a good college if you plan to go. Make the most of this year and have fun. Don't be scared or shy. If you hear about a club you want to join do it. Joining clubs and teams helps you make friends with the people in your class and the upperclassmen.
Good luck!

There is no need to be scared I was freaked on my first day, but it turned out fine and know I'm in middle school. Everything has its own way of turning out great or in my case I'm lucky.
