Sixth Grade Orientation will be held on Monday, August 25 at 6:45 p.m.  We strongly urge all sixth grade students and their parents to attend.  After introductions and general information, students and parents will report to their homeroom class where they will receive their class schedules and student handbooks.  Homeroom class assignments will be posted in the Commons.  Students will have the opportunity to walk through their schedule and learn how to use our food service system.  Back to school forms are being mailed home.  Please fill them out beforehand and bring them with you to the orientation evening.

Back-to-School Celebration is Wednesday, August 27 from 6:00 - 8:00 pm.  We look forward to welcoming all Blue Heron families back to school for the new year.  Come pick up back-to-school packets, which include class schedules and other important papers.  Complete forms and turn them in, pay any outstanding fines and fees, check out teachers for next year, visit classrooms, have a meal hosted by the athletic department and dance the evening away with dance music in the parking lot.  Students attending the Back-to-School Celebration must be accompanied by a parent, unless other arrangements have been made with Mr. Decker.

If you can't be at the Back-to-School Celebration, you can pick up your packet on the first day of school, Tuesday, September 2.
