Freshmen Orientation
Friday, August 2nd, 2024
At Freshman Orientation, your student will learn what it means to be a West Park Panther. Drop your student off between 8:00 and 8:30 AM. The morning will begin with a high-energy rally followed by a student-led orientation. Your student will be placed in a group with 9 other ninth graders and two upperclassmen leaders. This will be your students ‘Link Crew’ for the rest of the year. Your student can expect a day of fun, the opportunity to make new friends, and a tour of the campus so they know where to go on the first day of school. Sorry parents, this is a student-only event! Please sign up for orientation using the link here after June 15th when your student will have their Student ID number. You don’t want to miss this! Questions? See the FAQ page or contact Assistant Principal Smith (jonsmith@rjuhsd.us).
