WCHS and WACC will hold Freshmen Orientation during Welcome Back Night on Wednesday, August 6th at Warsaw Community High School. The PAC doors will be open from 4:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m. All incoming students and parents / guardians are invited to attend. Some highlights for freshmen during the orientation will include important information regarding the school year, picking up student iPads, and hearing from key school figures including the grade-level principal, Mr. Devlin.
Due to space constraints, we will hold two separate but identical Freshman Orientation meetings. The first will be at 5:00 p.m. and the second will begin at 6:15 p.m. in the PAC. There will also be a meeting at 7:15 p.m. for students participating in athletics at WCHS. If you do not plan on participating in athletics please attempt to attend the 5:00 p.m. orientation meeting. Students planning on playing a sport are encouraged to come to the 6:15 p.m. meeting and stay for the athletics meeting immediately following. However, you may attend either of the orientation meetings.
Students attending the 5:00 p.m. meeting are encouraged to walk the building and pick up their iPads in the cafeteria after the 5:00 p.m. meeting has concluded. Students attending the 6:15 p.m. meeting should come early to pick up their iPads and walk the building. We will have translators available to help with directions and iPad pick-up. IPad pick-up will close at 7:00 p.m.
Students will receive their iPad at this event as well as information to purchase insurance on that device. Insurance is a valuable asset to have in case of damage to the device. iPad insurance for freshmen will be $30.
This is an important evening designed to help you and your student make a smooth transition to high school. Please join us!
