There will only be one parent/student orientation at the start of each grading session. Attendance at the orientation is mandatory.
Orientation Paperwork (Step 6)
It is mandatory for the incoming student and at least one parent/guardian to attend a Parent Orientation. Failure to attend an Orientation means the student may not enroll at Colorado's Finest.
