Immunization Records

By state law, no student can be registered without an immunization history, and all immunizations must be current. During registration, if a student arrives without the proper paperwork verifying vaccine compliance, he/she will not be allowed to complete the registration process.

Students who arrive on the first day of school without documented proof of immunization compliance may be given a one-day schedule. Suspension for these students will commence on the second day and will continue until verifiable proof is presented to the school nurse, at which time students will be given their permanent schedules and allowed to return to classes.

Information for Freshmen Students

Mentor Days (6 Half-Days)

The goal of the Mentor Program is to bring together freshmen with upperclassmen to assist with the transition from Middle School to High School.

Horizon values the time all students are in class; therefore, the Mentor days are held when classes are 35 minutes in length.

Each Mentor will spend time (six of the half-days allotted by District) with the freshmen listening to their concerns and support them in making positive decisions. During the meetings, Mentors review upcoming events, discuss the registration process for the next school year, review school rules, offer tutoring services, and answer questions or concerns.

The Mentors meet with the freshmen during the freshmen English class period on half-days only. Teachers escort their class to the multi-purpose room each half-day. It is important for all of our students to be well-rounded academically, as well as socially. Our Mentor Program helps achieve that goal. The Mentors attend extensive summer training and participate in Anti-Bully training, communication skills, and mental health workshops. Mentors are selected based upon grades, attendance, discipline and teacher recommendation.

Being a Mentor is an important volunteer position on our campus. Mentors serve as tour guides to parents and students, as new student guides to all grade levels, and they volunteer during other school events.

Husky 101 - Ms. Amber Strang

Horizon offers our incoming freshmen a three-day camp led by upperclassmen leaders to create a sense of community, dispel myths and gain familiarity with our campus culture. This camp is held the last week of July and there is a fee attached. A flyer and more information will be posted on the homepage of the website.

During the camp days, only freshman students are given their schedule and have their ID picture taken. This opportunity allows them to find their classes and get the assistance of upperclassmen. Husky 101 is a great way to become more familiar with our campus. 

For more information on this awesome event, please visit the Husky 101 website.
