This year, we’re combining Freshman Orientation with our school-wide Back-to-School Night to create one meaningful and convenient evening for families.
Here’s what the schedule looks like:
4:00–5:15 PM – Freshman Orientation (Students only) : Students will start in the auditorium and rotate through five key stations: academics, counseling, handbook and expectations, clubs and activities, and a campus tour led by ASB students.
4:00–5:30 PM – 10th–12th Grade Welcome Back & Parent Open House : While 9th graders are in orientation, returning students can pick up schedules and explore clubs in the cafeteria. Teachers will be in their classrooms to meet families. Water, maps & support will be offered in the courtyard.
5:25–5:45 PM – Freshman Family Meal: After orientation, all 9th graders and their parents / guardians will enjoy a casual meal provided by our food services team in the cafeteria. It’s a chance to relax, connect with peers, and celebrate their first PTHS event.
5:45–6:45 PM – Freshman Parent Meeting: Families will gather in the courtyard (right as Blue Heron’s event wraps up) to meet the 9th grade team, hear about the school year ahead, and learn how we partner with families to support student success.
