BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio – As the new school year approaches, Ohio Hi-Point Career Center will welcome new and returning students and their families to Student Orientation on Wednesday, Aug. 12, from 12-5 p.m. The event will provide students with the information and resources they need to begin the school year.

With more than 750 students enrolled — a record high for Ohio Hi-Point — families are encouraged to attend during their designated time to help the orientation process run smoothly:

Last names A-J: Noon-2:30 p.m.
Last names K-Z: 2:30-5 p.m.

During orientation, students can pick up their class schedules, uniforms and laptops.

Student drivers should bring their driver’s license, vehicle registration, and proof of auto insurance to register for a parking permit. The school nurse will be available to discuss medical needs or concerns, and counselors will assist with schedule and course questions.

All students and families must complete OHP FinalForms before orientation. OHP’s forms are separate from those completed through a student’s partner school and must be completed before Student Orientation on August 12.

Ohio Hi-Point uses a staggered start to help new students become familiar with campus. First-year students will begin school Wednesday, Aug. 19. All first-year and returning students will attend Thursday, Aug. 20.

The school day runs from 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m.

Ohio Hi-Point’s partner schools are aware of the district’s start dates and school hours. Bus transportation is coordinated through each student’s partner school. Families with questions about routes, pickup times or transportation changes should contact their partner school’s transportation department.

Families should also make sure they are connected to ParentSquare, while students should use StudentSquare to receive school updates, reminders and other important information throughout the year.

For more information, contact the high school at 937-599-3010, ext. 1200, or visit www.ohiohipoint.com/backtoschool.
