8th Grade Orientation Night Coming Up!!

Parents, just a reminder that our 8th grade High School Orientation Night is coming up this month. If your child's last name starts with the letter A through K, you and your child need to come to the high school on the night of February 23rd from 6 to 8 p.m. And if your child's last name starts with the letter L through Z, you and your child need to come to the high school from 6 to 8 p.m. on the night of Feb. 27th. We will have an Activity Fair from 6 to 6:30 that night where students can find out all sorts of information on every activity, sport, club, etc. that the high school has to offer. At 6:30, our high school counselors will lead a presentation that should help you learn a lot more about the high school experience. Finally, from about 7:10 to 8:00 p.m., you and your child will get to meet your advisor and get to review the student's 4-year plan that they are currently creating. This will be a great time to get more advice and to learn more about high school and what courses might be best for your child's future beyond high school. The final step will take place in March where students will actually register for their 9th grade courses. Sure they still have to complete 3 more months of school after this month, but by the end of this month they should be a lot more ready for high school than they are now. And hopefully you will be more ready too!
