Havre High School will begin school Wednesday, Aug. 26.

The first day of school will be the same as last year. Staff will be conducting a freshmen/new student orientation that will be held in the morning from 8:15 to 11:45 a.m. Aug. 26.

Freshmen and new students are required to attend this event.

All other students will be required to attend afternoon classes for the rest of the day starting at 12:35 p.m.

Buses will run on regular schedules in the morning and in the afternoon, so students who ride the bus will be responsible to transport themselves to school at noon on the first day only. Hot lunches will be served.

Fall registration for the 2015-2016 school year will be as follows:

Registration times: 8 a.m. to noon; closed during noon lunch; and open 1 to 3 p.m.

For new or transfer students to Havre High School, registration will begin Monday, Aug. 17. Transfer and new students planning to attend Havre High must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian when coming to register.

New students registering at Havre High School must have proof of the following immunizations:

• Four DTaP shots, the last one after the age of 4

• Three polio, the last one after the age of 4

• Two MMRs (measles, mumps, rubella) both after 12 months of age and at least four weeks apart.

Effective Oct. 1, students attending school will need two varicella (chickenpox) vaccines and those students that have not received a Tdap will require a single dose.

Students without proof of these immunizations will not be able to register until proof is on file at the high school. Immunizations are available from the county health nurse or from the student’s physician.

Schedule changes for returning students will not be considered until Monday, Aug 17.

New ID cards for all students are required at the cost of $3 per card. This ID card will allow students admission to all high school events at a reduced charge, or by paying an additional $15 when registering and purchasing the ID card, students are prepaid for admission to all Havre High School athletic and performing arts events for the 2015-2016 school year. Any parents that would like to purchase the all-season family pass for the entire 2015-2016 school year may do for $135.

This pass is only good for students in grades K-12. It does not cover students who have already graduated. There is the option for family passes at the cost of $80 for the fall season or $80 for the winter season if only one season is of interest to the family. Individual adult passes are available for the entire year at the cost of $55.

Students who are planning to use the hot lunch and breakfast programs may put money on their individual accounts at the time of registration. The daily charge for a student breakfast is $1.80 and hot lunch is offered for $2.55.

Havre High School yearbooks may also be ordered and purchased at registration at the cost of $40. Students attending HHS are required to purchase a student handbook/planner at the cost of $6. Planners will be distributed to students on the first day of school.

HHS students need to be reminded that if they have fines due to any nonreturned or damaged textbooks, overdue library books or fines from extracurricular activities, these need to be paid for and/or returned at registration.

Please remember the dress code for the upcoming school year. Of note, shorts and skirts must be mid-thigh length and hats are not to be worn inside the school building. We certainly appreciate parental help in seeing that students are dressed appropriately when leaving for school. Students will be asked to change clothes if a correction is needed.

All students utilizing bus transportation for the 2015-2016 school year are reminded to pick up their bus schedule during registration. Updated personal bus information should be left with the office staff.
