A special sixth-grade parent-student orientation is 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 3, to meet teachers, go through class schedules and receive locker assignments.

Meanwhile, all seventh- and eighth-grade students interested in turning out for cross country, football or volleyball must have proof of physicals and athletic forms turned into the school office the morning of the first turnout.
