Online Orientation
All incoming students are required to complete the online orientation module by Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2023. This virtual, video-based program will take no more than two hours to complete and has a built-in memory function so you can move through the orientation at your own pace.
The link for online orientation will be available by May 31, 2023.
Students should only access the online orientation through your River Hawk Portal, as you will need to log in to have your progress tracked and register completion. Your checklist will reflect your completion within two business days.
Parents, families and supporters will be invited to access the orientation using a guest link.
