Upper School New Family Orientation

Orientation is an opportunity for families to get to know our school, parents to introduce themselves to each other, and students to meet their classmates. Families will receive information about the academics, culture, carline, and more at Great Hearts Irving Upper School.

This year we are hosting orientation for all 6th grade and 9th grade families as well as new families in grades 7-10. All orientations will coincide with Meet the Teacher events and will take place in the Upper School Gym. 9th and 10th grade families will walk to the Upper School building after orientation is concluded to attend Meet the Teacher.
