Link Crew Orientation is coming soon! 9^th grade Orientation is happening on July 30th at 8:00am !

A Junior or Senior Link Leader from the Folsom High School will be contacting you to invite your 9^th grade student to our Freshmen Orientation that will take place on Wednesday, July 30, 2025. Freshman orientation will be in-person in the Folsom High School Large Gym.

Your student will be placed in a group with other incoming freshman and at least one Link Crew Leader. They will get to know one another and complete a few activities.

What exactly is Link Crew?

Link Crew is a high school transition program for our incoming 9th grade students who are new to our high school. Link Crew Leaders are mentors and student leaders who guide the freshman to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to high school and help facilitate freshman success. 

Freshmen will be receiving a paper copy of their schedule at the end of the orientation as well. For those that cannot attend, schedules can be picked up in the Administration Building after 12:30 pm on July 30th or any time the office is open after that.
