Class of 2023 acclimates to school community Grace Krumplitsch & Tabitha Parent
Freshmen gathered for Freshman Success on Aug. 15 and 16 to meet new classmates and familiarize themselves with the campus. After going over the new schedule, dress code and the Honor Code, students participated in icebreakers and games with Theater Programs Director Margaret Grace Hee. “I felt kind of uncomfortable before the icebreakers, but then got more comfortable afterwards because we were all doing something together rather than having our own conversations,” freshman Roxy Comerford said. “I really enjoyed the ‘speed dating’ game where we really just got to talk to each other.” Freshmen also met their advisers and had lunch with their PAWS advisory groups. “Ms. [Caroline] Norris, was really helpful when it came to talking about our schedules and answering questions,” freshman Sinead Trevino said. “I am look-
ing forward to creating a friend group in advisory and to be able to talk about the week with them.” Advisory groups provide students with a safe space and close relationships with faculty as they navigate through high school. “The teachers were very nice and welcoming,” freshman Tala El-Qadah said. “Meeting them helped me get excited for the school year.” Freshmen were later divided into teams of seven for a scavenger hunt to visit teachers in their classrooms and introduce themselves before the first day of school. “I found it easier to talk to people than I thought it would be,” Comerford said. “We were in such small groups, meaning it was very easy to find someone we could talk to and connect with.” Freshman Success continued on Friday with the entirety of the coed Freshman Class gathering outside of the Little Theater to meet their Senior Sisters and

STRIKE Freshmen Noor El-Qadah, Annika Hansen, Ella Noblin and Amaliya Sypult enter their names into the electronic scoreboard at Presidio Bowling Center on Aug. 16. Convent & Stuart Hall freshmen participated in arcade games, ate pizza and bowled.
Brothers for breakfast. “I’m looking forward to seeing the Freshman Class grow, create new friendships and branch out of their comfort zones because that’s the most effective way to get the best out of the four years of high school,” senior Rachel Santamaria said. Senior Sisters and Brothers
provide support and mentorship for freshmen as they experience their first year of high school. “It was a lot easier to make friends than I though it was going to be,” freshman Nicole Klein said. “My Senior Sister Sunny was also super nice to talk to.” The class participated in more icebreakers before heading to
the Presidio for bowling, arcade games and a pizza lunch to wrap up orientation. “I’m excited to get a good education,” Trevino said. “I’m really looking forward to making new friends and getting to know the teachers more and just creating better bonds with people all over the school.”

New dress code includes more requirements, options Gabriella Vulakh & Gray Timberlake
Students are now required to wear collared shirts as part of the new dress code, and they have the option to wear white or blue jeans in addition to the previously allowed neutral pant and knee-length shorts colors that include black, grey, khaki, navy and olive. “The dress code changes every year based on students’ experiences,” Community Life Chair Paul Pryor Lorentz said. “The dress code last year provided loose guidelines for students, so we hope the collared shirt will have more of a unified look.” Students may wear sweatshirts and sweaters that are solid colored, Convent & Stuart Hall branded or college-branded, on top of a collared shirt. Hoods cannot be worn up. “I personally liked the old
dress code because I think the clothing options allowed us to express ourselves more compared to this new dress code,” sophomore Roya Meykadeh said. “I think we will look more in uniform and more put together as a community, but I think we will loose some of our expressiveness.” Students are also required to wear formal dress uniform for designated assemblies, religious ceremonies and all-school gatherings. Students may choose to wear the formal dress uniform during regular dress code days. The dress uniform includes either back slacks or the grey uniform skirt — which can be purchased from Lands’ End through the sacredsf.org website — with black tights, a white collared shirt, a burgundy sweater for Grades 9 through 11 and navy sweater for Grade 12, and
black flats. “I feel lucky that we do not have to wear the full dress uniform everyday,” freshman Makenna Kramer said. “Since I have never had a uniform or formal dress code before, I will first need to get used to wearing the collared shirts everyday.” Students who break the dress code will be asked to change their clothing, according to Pryor Lorentz. “If students are not able to fix their dress code in the moment they will need to report to Mr. [Michael] Buckley or myself after class,” Pryor Lorentz said. “If there are repetitive dress code infractions, we will have a conversation with the student to create future action plans.” More information can be found in the High School Student/Parent Handbook on the sacredsf.org website.
