Class of 2029 Orientation

July, 2025

 

Dear Parent/Guardian,

 

On behalf of Warren Hills High School, I would like to formally invite you and your soon to be ninth grader(s) to attend the Freshmen Orientation to be held at the high school on the afternoon/evening of Tuesday, August 19, 2025.  The orientation will be facilitated by members of the Teaching Staff, Senior Peer Leaders, and Administration for purposes of supporting all incoming ninth graders as they transition to the new routines associated with a new school.

 

The afternoon orientation will be filled with numerous activities designed to officially welcome incoming freshmen students all the while reducing the anxiety associated with the first day of school. Throughout the orientation students will be engaged with icebreaker introduction activities, tours of the building, reviews of student schedules and general high school procedures/expectations. Additionally, students will have the privilege of listening to the inspiring words of others who have traveled the halls or Warren Hills & now gained proven life experience!  This is a great opportunity for all incoming ninth graders who are getting started on their journey through high school! 

 

I hope your child will be attending this function, which culminates in the school cafe where light refreshments will be served. Parents and students will have the opportunity to discuss events included throughout the afternoon.  Please note the orientation event is strictly for students.  After student drop-off in the front of school parents are invited to return later in the afternoon for an optional “Parent Seminar”.  The parent seminar will highlight information on high school procedures, and also provide direction for navigating the online Genesis student information system. The parent seminar will be conveniently held in the cafeteria allowing for easy access to refreshments immediately thereafter.   

 

A general itinerary for the “Orientation Event” will be as follows: 

 

  2:30  - Photos for school I.D.  (strictly for students coming from out of district).  All others need not attend.

  2:45  - Student sign-in for orientation

  3:30 - Students begin rotation through six (6) activity stations located throughout the high school
