Orientation Days in Pulaski County Public Schools were created so that the youngest grade level in each school were given an opportunity to get acclimated to their surrounding without the rest of the school's student body present. The Freshmen Orientation Day will run on the two-hour early release schedule (8:28 AM - 1:22 PM). The first day of school for ALL student on Wednesday, August 14 will be a FULL day.
The faculty and staff at Pulaski County High School are excited to meet their newest students and are prepared to assist the freshmen class in any way possible as they explore their new home. The Orientation Day schedule is designed to permit freshmen to meet their teachers and classmates, interpret their course schedule, learn their class locations and the campus layout via tours, attempt to open their locker, identify resources & supports throughout campus, and begin to develop the ideals of Cougar P.R.I.D.E.
Students will run through their class schedule twice. The first run through their schedules will have 56 minutes classes and allow time to meet their teachers and classmates. The second run through will be a sprint (4 minute classes) and will culminate with fourth block and then being dismissed for the day at 1:22.
