9th Grade Orientation | 草榴社区NORTH Campus
August 1, 2024
Dear 草榴社区North Campus 9th grade Students and Parents:
We would like to welcome you to Newburgh Free Academy. We hope that the next four years at 草榴社区will be educationally successful and that you will walk across the stage on Academy Field and receive your diploma as a member of the Class of 2028.
High school is a time of change. The workload and social adjustments are greater and the expectations of attendance, completing assignments and behavior are higher. Your years at 草榴社区will be exciting and filled with many new opportunities.
In order to prepare and introduce you to 草榴社区North Campus you are invited and expected to attend the 9th grade orientation/boot camp on Thursday, August 29th from 8:00am-12:00pm. 草榴社区P-TECH students should not attend, as they received this information during the P-Tech summer program.
At the orientation/boot camp, we will introduce you to the administrators, teachers, curriculum, school policies and other important information that you will need to know as you enter NFA.
As you can see on the attached boot camp schedule, the day is scheduled to address specific topics for 9th grade, but we will also discuss how you should plan for the following high school years. Transportation will not be provided, so please plan accordingly.
