Hello 9th Grade Parents and Guardians!
We are very excited that your child will be attending Eagle Ridge Academy, and we look forward to seeing them in-person at our 9th Grade Orientation Day on August 20th (the school will be open starting at 7:30 AM). Our Link Crew Program will help get your 9th grader off to a great start!
WHAT IS LINK CREW? Link Crew is a nationwide program designed to welcome and support 9th graders by connecting them with Link Leaders, who are positive, responsible, hand-selected 11th and 12th graders. Your student’s Link Leaders will help them feel more comfortable as well as help them achieve success in their first year of high school. Doesn’t that sound great? It is!
ORIENTATION DAY DETAILS:
- Students will be with their Link Crew leader in the morning and then they will go through their schedule in the afternoon to meet their teachers. The Link leaders will give them a tour of the school and provide a copy of their schedule so that they can easily find their classes in the afternoon.
- 8:00 -11:45 Link Crew Events (assembly, small group activities, tour, etc.)
- 11:45 Lunch time (lunch will be available in the cafeteria)
- 12:30 - 2:00 Go through schedule, get email, meet teachers
- 2:00 - 4:00 Make-up placement testing (for those who did not complete this in the Spring)
- The day will be quite active. Because of this, please make sure that your student wears comfortable clothing that does not restrict movement.
- This is a student only function so we encourage you to let your child attend on their own. Please feel free, however, to attend Back to School Night on Thursday, August 21st!
We look forward to a great orientation day!
