To prepare our incoming freshmen for their high school experience, there will be a two-day orientation on August 30th and 31st. Please read the information below carefully as each day requires different attire and is held at a different location. This orientation is for incoming freshmen only. Please arrange transportation for your child on both days to and from the locations mentioned below.

Additionally, there will be an informational freshman parent orientation meeting on August 30th at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium located in Canivan Hall. This will give you an opportunity to meet the administration, a few members of the faculty and parents. It is a wonderful forum to ask questions that you may have as not only a new parent to St. Dominic's, but as a freshman parent so please join us.
Sincerely,
Ms. Joanna Durante
