We are excited to share information about the beginning of the 2019–20 school year, specifically information for Orientation and Registration for all new students, as well as returning student Registration.
“Opening Days” is how we refer to the days leading up to the first day of classes. Please review the Opening Days Calendar linked at the bottom of this document in its entirety.
The first two weekends of the year are Community Weekends, which means all students participate in at least one school event each weekend, and boarders remain on campus. The second Community Weekend of the year will feature Club Expo on the evening of Friday, September 13, an exciting introduction to student clubs, organizations, and affinity groups!
