Warsaw Community High School and Warsaw Area Career Center will hold freshmen orientation during Welcome Back Night on Aug. 9 at WCHS.
The Performing Arts Center doors will be open from 4:30 to 7 p.m. All incoming freshmen students and parents/guardians are invited to attend.
Some highlights of the orientation will include information regarding the school year, picking up student iPads and hearing from key school figures including grade-level principal Leah Sprunger.
Due to space constraints, WCS will hold two orientation meetings. The first will be at 5 p.m. and the second will begin at 6:15 p.m.
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, attempt to attend the 5 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, a student may attend either of the orientation meetings.
Students attending the 5 p.m. meeting are encouraged to walk the building and pick up their iPads in the cafeteria after the 5 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.
WCS will have translators available to help with directions and iPad pick-up.
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 an accident. iPad insurance for freshmen will be $28.
