Thursday, August 29th for Freshmen
The freshmen only day at Menomonie High School is Thursday, August 29th.   Bus transportation will not be provided for this day only.  Parents/Guardians of 9th grade students may drop off anytime after 7:30 a.m. where our MHS Link Crew will take over.  The program will start at 8:00 am.  Link Crew is a transition program where upperclassmen and staff work with incoming 9th graders at the start of school and throughout the year to increase connectedness and comfort with the high school environment.  We are excited about our 4th year of this program and are appreciative of all of our staff and upperclassmen “Link Leaders” who have volunteered their time to help make MHS the best that we can be!  9th grade students will be taken around the building to open their lockers, see their teachers, walk their class schedule, and generally be introduced to the high school environment through activity and camaraderie.  Lunch will be served around noon.  We will end with all 9th graders and families invited to the commons from 2:25‐3:30 pm to view all of the clubs, activities, and athletics available at MHS.  This is a great opportunity to explore all that MHS has to offer.  We have found that the more involved students are in school-related activities, the more likely students will feel connected to high school and have success.  

Thursday, August 29th for International/New Students

International students and new students who are not 9th graders will report at 11:00 a.m., August 29th to the library to attend a brief program, have lunch around noon, open lockers, and check into their room locations.  They are also invited to attend the activities fair at the end of the day from 2:25-3:30 p.m. where they can be accompanied by a parent.  They will be able to view all of the clubs, activities, and athletics available at MHS.
