Freshman Orientation Meetings:
Meeting 1: 5-6 p.m. (Incoming ninth-grade students not participating in athletics are encouraged to attend.)
Meeting 2: 6:15-7:15 p.m. (Incoming ninth-grade students participating in athletics are encouraged to attend.)
Athletics meeting: 7:15-7:45 p.m. (for students participating in athletics)
Open for walk-throughs: Due to construction, the building is not open for walk-throughs prior to Wednesday’s Welcome Back Night.
Some highlights for freshman during the orientation will include important information regarding the school year, picking up student iPads and hearing from key school figures including the freshman grade-level principal, Paul Zakaria.
Due to space constraints, WCHS will hold two separate but identical freshman 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, you 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. There will be translators available to help with directions and iPad pick-up. IPad pick-up will close at 7 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.
