  Since we will not be having orientation events in person this year, all orientation presentations will be online – including our “New Parent Orientation”. If you’ve been at Thrasher for a while, you might want to watch the orientation or at least review these notes because there are so many changes this year. If you watch the presentation, you may want to print off these notes we made for you so that you can pencil in your own additions.
