9th Grade Student Orientation
Link Crew is a community building and transition program that helps incoming students make the adjustment to the high school environment. Link Crew Leaders are a group of 100+ Junior and Senior students who participate in a two-day summer training which prepares them to welcome our incoming students to Leigh and help them feel a part of the Longhorn family. During orientation, Link Crew Leaders lead their group of students through various games and community building activities which provide an opportunity for incoming students to meet their peers. Link Crew Leaders also lead a tour of campus so incoming students can become familiar with where their classes will be.
Students will be contacted by their Link Leader before the event with instructions.

Tutorial Information
All students are required to attend tutorial, even if a student does not have a 1st or 4th period. Students will attend the following tutorial for the first three days of school:
-
Wednesday: Students will remain in their 1st period class*
-
Thursday: Students will remain in their 4th period class*
-
Friday: Students will remain in their 2nd period class*
*If a student does not have a 1st, 2nd, or 4th period teacher on the specific day, they will report to the cafeteria for tutorial.
This year attendance for tutorial will be marked in Aeries. Any unexcused absences during tutorial will be treated as truancies.
![Tutorial](https://3.files.edl.io/d026/24/07/30/151447-7d190d86-273a-4a46-928a-885c57649a5f.png)
- Students can attend Tutorial based on the image above.
- If a teacher’s tutorial is listed as “green,” all students can attend that teacher’s tutorial (unless it is full). If their tutorial is listed as “yellow,” it will be limited to certain students at the teacher’s discretion (i.e. students working on a specific assignment). If a teacher’s tutorial is listed as “red,” it is limited to only specific assigned students and is closed to everyone else.
- Teachers will update a matrix showing if their tutorial is green, yellow, red that will be sent to students to review daily.
- The cafeteria will be open for students and monitored by administrators. In the cafeteria, phones will need to be put away and it will be open only for students to work quietly, individually.
Leigh’s Tutorial Norms:
- Attend a tutorial every day.
- Check to see if you’re assigned to a specific tutorial.
- If assigned to multiple tutorials on the same day, attend the priority subject tutorial.
- If unassigned, check the tutorial matrix and make a plan.
- Always be on time, and make sure your attendance is recorded. Students marked absent for Tutorial will have a truancy on their attendance record.
- Maintain a learning environment that allows all students to work productively.
Attendance - who to notify when your child is sick or has an appointment

Students who continue to earn detention due to tardiness may be subject to other disciplinary action.
- Afternoon SVCTE students must serve their detention(s) in the morning before school, by arrangement with an Assistant Principal.
