Standard 10 Student Orientation Process

On the students’ first day of class, they report to the Assembly Room for the beginning of student orientation. During this time, a PowerPoint presentation is shown and consists of:

• An introduction of the administration, faculty, and staff.
• A brief introduction to the student handbook. (When students return to class, the instructors go over the handbook in more detail).
• Students watch the video on sexual harassment.
• After the video, students and teachers move to their classrooms for additional orientation – more specific to the individual programs.
