and events.
This newsletter is intended to provide you with all of the information you will need to successfully prepare for

Freshmen Orientation (Students Only)
August 18th
8:30-1:00 lunch is not included
Freshmen Orientation is designed to both welcome and support freshmen. The following information will help
your freshman know what to expect in advance of their first day of school.
1) Your student will receive their class schedule on this day and get a tour of the campus;
2) Your child is encouraged not to bring backpacks, purses or other like items as the day is quite active;
3) Because the day is active, please make sure that your child wears comfortable clothing that does not
restrict movement.
This is a student only function so we encourage you to let your child attend on her or his own. This does not
take place of Hornet Days where pictures are taken, and ASB cards can be purchased. Please see the Cashier
Worksheet included with this newsletter for pricing breakdown of options available during Hornet Days.

PTSO at Hornet Days
Did you know the High School has a Parent, Student, and Teacher Organization (PTSO)? Our mission is to
provide additional resources for parents to get information regarding their student.
We plan on hosting a Senior Parent Night, where we provide a look into costs that you may incur during your
students senior year and a career night that will help you get started on those college and scholarship
applications.
Unlike other PTA’s, we only do one fundraiser, ESCRIP. Simply sign up your Safeway club card under the
Enumclaw High School PTSO and for every qualifying dollar you spend we will earn money. New this Year,
the money we earn will help to fund four scholarships for deserving seniors!
Stop by our table and get information on how to join. We look forward to seeing you during Hornet Days.
Senior Photo for the Yearbook
Dorian will also take Senior photos during Hornet Days. We will use that photo unless another photo is submitted by
October 16th. Senior photos may be taken by any studio. Dorian picture make-up date is September 10th and retakes is
scheduled for October 14th.
