Tam High 9th Grade Orientation 2021
August 13th, 7:55am - 2:30pm
Incoming 9th Graders: Are you ready for 9th Grade Orientation??
When: Friday, August 13th 7:55 am SHARP - 2:15 pm
Where: Gus Gym (the main gym in front of the school)
Why: To welcome you to the Tam community!
WHAT IS 9th Grade ORIENTATION?At 9th Grade Orientation you’ll meet two Tam students who will be your Link Leaders for the year - they are there to answer your questions, fill you in on what you need to know about life for Tam students, and help you find your classes before day one. You don’t want to miss it!
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO OR BRING? Nothing! Please leave your purses and backpacks at home. Wear comfortable clothing because you’ll be sitting in bleachers and on the floor, and you’ll be moving around a lot.

Parents & Guardians of Incoming 9th Graders: WHAT IS Link Crew?
Tam’s Link Crew program helps new students feel comfortable before they arrive on the first day of school and throughout their freshman year. We know that if your student feels safe, welcome, and valued they are more likely to have a successful experience here at our school. There are three aspects of our program:
- 9th Grade Orientation: Friday, August 13th, 2021
- 9th Grade Advisory: Monthly conversations and activities which help orient 9th graders to available resources and how to be successful at Tam
- Social and Academic Events: Events throughout the year designed to help 9th graders feel academically and socially supported and successful
If your incoming 9th grader will be out of town on that date, we will be holding a smaller "make up" orientation on Tuesday the 17th at 2pm. If your student will be joining us for this make up orientation, please email Abbey Levine ([email protected]) to confirm.
