2017 Orientation Day Details!

Orientation Day is Tuesday, August 15^th at the school.

When you pick up your child’s teacher assignment packet, available for pick-up beginning July 31^st, you will receive a schedule that will explain when you need to attend class and/or grade level orientation meetings with the teachers. It is also important to visit the cafeteria this day between 8:00am and 2:00pm to fill out all school-related paperwork and pay associated dues. You should allow at least one hour for the cafeteria visit.

SAVE TIME, DO THESE BEFORE YOU COME:

1. Pay school fees (All Students) and laptop fees (Middle School Only) in advance: https://anchorageschool.cheddarup.com
2. Order your school supplies online:  schooltoolbox.com
3. Add money to your child’s lunch account at MySchoolBucks: www.MySchoolBucks.com
4. Complete your child’s KHSAA Sports Physical Form: https://anchorageschool.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/sports-forms.pdf
5. Complete your APTA membership form: OrientationDayFeeForm2017

IMPORTANT TIPS:

1. BRING YOUR CHECKBOOK!
2. Many parents try to plan their visit around the classroom orientation meetings, but please keep in mind that if you have a Kindergartener, the Kindergarten orientation begins at 2:00pm. The cafeteria area will be closed after 2:00pm so getting to the cafeteria before your meeting time is very important!
3. Childcare will be available in the school auditorium from 10:00am to 3:00pm, as the orientation meetings are usually for parents only.
