“Orientation was too smooth this year,” said Karen Mackiewicz, mother of Jordyn, a Tehachapi High School sophomore.
THS held its beginning of the year orientation for all students this past Wednesday and Thursday. Students checked in at the gymnasium and followed a path that lead students to schedules, photo IDs, school pictures and school book check out.
“I just walked through. It was much easier than last year,” said Jordyn Mackiewicz, sophomore.
Last year there were several problems with the students’ schedules. According to new Principal Cary Johnson, there were technical issues with the master scheduling program, as well as a few people errors.
“[Former] Principal Arrendondo resolved the issues and fixed the students’ schedules,” said Principal Johnson.
To help students and parents have a smooth transition, letters were sent home with all information and paperwork that was needed to be returned before school started.
“We got the emergency card, internet release form and a letter with the time and day Jordyn was supposed to be here,” said Mrs. Mackiewicz.
Having students and parents aware of the days events was only part of what went into having the day run smoothly.
“Parent volunteers and the classified staff have been amazing,” said Principal Johnson.
With the beginning of the year orientation and schedules smoothly completed, THS staff, as well as the students are prepared and looking forward to an amazing year.
