To ensure you have all the information you need to make a successful start to the 2024-2025 school year, we shared several important links during the presentation. These resources are designed to guide you through the next steps of the enrollment/registration process, familiarize you with our academic programs, and help you explore the extracurricular opportunities available at Norco High School.
For those who may have missed them or need a refresher, here are the key links we discussed:
We encourage you to explore these resources at your earliest convenience. They are essential tools in preparing for a smooth transition into high school life and ensuring your student is set up for success from day one.
All incoming 9th graders are required to attend a student only Freshman Orientation. (Not required for Life Skills students.)
Please allow our Link Leaders to guide your student, in a peer to peer setting, in order to feel prepared and confident for their first day of high school!
This is where you will receive schedules, ID Cards, books, lockers, go on a campus tour, and get to know your future class of 2028 classmates through the Link Crew Activities. Our Link Leaders are ready to meet you and help make your transition into high school as comfortable as possible!
Check-in through the main gates in front of the school. There will be check-in tables and Link Leaders guiding you.
