Student Orientation and Back to School Night

Thursday, August 26

We are so excited to see our students and families at Student Orientation and Back to School Night! 

Student Orientation  

Student Orientation will give students an opportunity to meet a mentor and others in their grade, tour the building, map their schedule, and walk their classes to meet teachers. Students should plan on attending the entire session. Specific times for each grade are listed below. Parents may choose to attend the 8:30 am-9:00 am parent presentation if they wish. 

Students: You will need to access your schedule in Synergy (if using your student account) or HCPSS Connect (if using a parent account) before the orientation to know where to go during the student schedule tour. See the help guides linked below if necessary.

The following are invited to attend:​

  • Freshmen: 8:30-12:00 
  • Sophomores: 8:30-11:30
  • Juniors and Seniors new to the River Hill community this year or last year: 8:30-11:10
  • Parents who wish to attend the Welcome Session in the Auditorium: 8:30-9:00

Information about the Parent Session:

Parents who wish to attend will have the opportunity to meet the administration, learn about upcoming school year events, and discover opportunities to get involved and support our school. Parent session is from 8:30 am-9:00 am in the Auditorium, and will contain very similar information to that presented later at Back to School Night. Parents will not walk their students' schedules or meet teachers during this morning session.
