The Link Crew Freshman Orientation and transition program is designed to

both welcome and support freshmen by assigning them a junior or senior

Link Crew Leader as a mentor during their first year.  Their Link Crew Leader is

a responsible, older student who was hand-selected from a large pool

of applicants and has met the qualifications of being a good role model

and a positive leader on our campus.  Following is some information to let

you know what you and your student can expect in advance of their first

day of school.

___________________________________________

Your student can expect to receive an invitation to Freshman Orientation Day

in the mail. If he or she has not received the invitation by August 3rd, please call the

main office and request one.

___________________________________________

A day or two before Orientation, your student will also receive a phone call from

her/his Link Crew Leader personally inviting your student to Freshman Orientation Day

and giving the details of where and when to be at Orientation.

___________________________________________

Your student will meet his or her Link Crew Leader, meet other freshmen, get a tour

of the school, get their schedule, locker, and school ID. More than 95% of freshmen

attend this day.  It is a fun and important day.

___________________________________________

Your student is encouraged not to bring backpacks, purses, or other like items as the

Freshman Orientation is quite active. Because the day is active, please make sure that

your student wears comfortable clothing that does not restrict movement. The students

are encouraged to bring plenty of water as some of the morning activities will take place outdoor.
