Tuesday, August 28, 2018 - High School Registration Day
Tuesday, September 4, 2018 - Only 9th grade students and Link Crew Leaders will attend high school. Bus transportation will run as normal on 9/4/18.
Why? This year we are implementing a program called Link Crew. This is a freshman transition program. Link Crew Leaders are trained to work with the incoming freshman class and other new students who are entering our school in the fall.
Part of this program is a freshman orientation day. This day will consist of a combination of opening and closing assemblies, small group sessions led by Link Crew Leaders and lunch. Freshmen end the day with the opportunity to run through a shortened schedule where they see what their classes will be like and meet their teachers. On Orientation Day, just the freshmen, Link Leaders, and staff will be at the high school. This will allow the freshmen to ask questions, find their way around the school, and establish a comfort level with their upperclassmen leaders and fellow classmates.
Link Crew is also a school community-building program. Link Crew is based on a simple concept: linking freshmen with successful upperclassmen. While creating a sense of comfort for the incoming students, the Link Crew concept also addresses the attitudes of the upperclassmen toward the freshmen, and respect for freshmen becomes the norm. Link Crew empowers juniors and seniors as role models for freshmen, allows successful older student to pass on positive traditions to younger students and teaches students that by working together, they can be successful and enjoy one another.
Wednesday, September 5, 2018 - All high school students (Grades 9, 10, 11, 12) report to school.
