High school orientation for freshmen?

[Anonymous]

I have a rising 9th grader (first one in HS) and haven’t heard anything about a freshmen orientation like they have for rising 7th graders in MS. Is that a thing or is it just a general open house for all students?

When my older child was a freshman, her school did have a day set aside for an orientation but now it's a one or two hour thing that happens in the morning before regular open house. I'm not sure exactly sure what will happen in that time frame but as I have a rising freshman, I guess I'll find out.

What school? Perhaps you missed the info in a newsletter from the middle school last spring?

I have a rising freshman and we were given the dates. There is an open house in the late afternoon and back to school night on the same day, as well as a freshman orientation in the am. That is a couple days before the first day of school. But there’s also a half day you can do earlier in August.

Usually the Friday before school starts for our public fcps high school.
But this may vary by school?

email the front office to see if they have a boot camp.

What school? And agree, contact the main office. My kid went to Madison and there was an optional summer program in August when he was a freshman. You had to pay for it. The regular freshman orientation was a couple of hours the week before school started where they picked up their laptop, etc.
