Hello HSHS Students and Families,
A reminder that tomorrow we will host orientation times for all returning students to familiarize themselves with the new building. Schedules will be posted in TeacherEase for reference, but hard copies can be provided upon request. Students can use the allotted time to find their lockers, pick up their locks, and find their classes for the upcoming school year. We ask that students try to stick to the time slots below so each group has time to move around the building in an orderly fashion. Teachers may or may not be available during these times, but students are welcome to view any rooms that are unlocked. The gym will be off limits during this event.
Students should plan to park in the north parking lot for this event and enter the building near Mr. Lindstrom’s room into the hallway outside the locker rooms. From there, they should proceed to the Cafeteria and enter the new addition from the Cafeteria. Guidance for students will be available from Mr. Zinke.
Seniors- 3:00-3:30 PM
Juniors- 3:30-4:00 PM
