Orientation Day for Gr 9 and students new to Newburyport High School will be Wednesday, September 4. This event is run by our Ignite Peer Mentors and provides an opportunity for incoming students to meet new friends through team-building activities. Students will also have the chance to navigate their way around the school. Details are still being finalized for orientation but be sure to mark September 4th on your student’s calendar.

We will reserve 2 mornings in August for coffee and questions. These drop-in sessions provide parents an opportunity to meet members of the school administration and ask questions pertaining to the start of the year. The coffee meetings will happen on Wednesday, August 14 and Tuesday, August 27 between 8:30 and 9:30 AM at the high school.
