HTHS Freshman Orientation Date: 17, 2014 Time:8am-Noon Where: Competition Gym What: group activities, small group activities, a tour of the building, a pizza lunch provided by the PTSO, and meet some of your future teachers, counselors and administrators! This orientation is for the students only! ATTENTION HTMS STUDENTS! Lockers are assigned and ready. Your student may come to HTMS on July 21st from 7:30-9:30 a.m. or from 5:00-7:00 p.m. to locate and access their locker. If you are unable to come during these times...no worries...you will have another opportunity during Meet the Teacher on August 5th, 7:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m. We know that locker decorations can be exciting, especially for our 6th grade students. Wallpaper and other items that adhere to the inside of the locker causes significant damage to the paint. Therefore, they will not be permissible. Anything that utilizes a magnet is permissible such as a mirror, pencil organizers, photo magnets etc. We want this to be an enjoyable experience for our students and at the same time maintain the integrity of our lockers. Thank you and see you soon!!!
