We are so excited to welcome new students and families to Hewes. To help make this process smooth and stress-free for everyone, we have planned orientation activities to help students know what to expect and be ready to go when school starts. Orientation and registration are two different activities. All students, new and returning, participate in registration. NEW students participate in orientation activities.
All 6th-grade students will be personally invited to participate in WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) orientation on Wednesday, August 7th, from 8 am to 2 pm. We have 60+ fabulous 8th graders who are the leaders for this amazing day of activities, fun, and learning for your student. Our goal is that your child comes home comfortable with the campus, knows what to expect on the first day, and is EXCITED to start school.
WEB Orientation is for the students. We ask that parents drop off their child at the Activity Center at 8 am and plan to pick up their student at 2 pm. Students should bring a snack and a water bottle; a pizza lunch will be provided for every student attending. Parents are invited to stay for a 6th Grade Parent Welcome Meeting at 8:30 am, administration and counseling will provide key information to guide your start to the school year.
Students in 7th & 8th grade who are new to Hewes Middle School will have the opportunity for a school tour on Wednesday, August 6th at 1 pm. The counseling and administration team will meet in front of the Activity Center at 12:45 pm with tours to begin at 1 pm. We will have student schedules so that as we tour the campus, students will know the location of each of their classes. We want to answer your questions and help students feel comfortable, excited, and ready for the first day of classes.

**If your family/student can't make it to orientation, do not stress. On the first day of school, all students will report to homeroom, where they will be given a paper copy of their schedule. During the first hour of school, everyone will have time to look at their schedule and a school map to make sure they know where to go for the rest of the school day. Our staff is wonderful and caring and will work to make your child feel welcome at Hewes. It is important if you can't attend, you complete Data Confirmation in Aeries so we know that you plan to attend Hewes in the fall.
