Dear Students and Parents/Guardians of the Class of 2023, We invite students and parents/guardians of the Class of 2023 to attend the Waterford High School Orientation Program on Thursday, August 22nd. Summer has just begun, but before we know it, the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year will be here! We are preparing for our freshmen orientation and looking forward to meeting all of the members of the Class of 2023! It is important to us that we welcome our new freshmen to Waterford High School by creating a smooth and comfortable transition to their new school environment. As part of the transition to the high school, we have developed a new and more interactive orientation activity to meet the needs of our incoming freshmen class. Our new Waterford High School Transition Program will include a student orientation, a parent/guardian meeting, and will conclude with a BBQ social gathering for all. A welcome to our incoming grade nine students in our auditorium, followed by 9 small-group sessions that will provide information to include: Attendance Policies How to Read a Schedule Student Activities and Athletics Homework Expectations Advisory LTS School Logistics Academic and Fine/Vocational Arts Electives Information School Support and Resources School Tour These sessions will be held in different areas of the high school, giving students the opportunity to move around the building and acclimate to their new school! This portion of the student orientation will be run by staff and WHS students and will last two hours. Parents and guardians are invited to join us at 5:30 p.m. in the auditorium for their own Welcome to Waterford High School session. Staff, students and their parents/guardians will come together from 6:30-7:30 p.m. for a BBQ social. Students should be dropped off at the Fieldhouse entrance of Waterford High School promptly at 3:45 p.m. Parents should arrive at 5:30 and proceed to the auditorium.
