August is approaching quickly which means that the start of school is just around the corner. Please plan to attend the registration date assigned to your class listed below. Incoming 9th graders will be contacted by their Link Leaders with specific information pertaining to orientation on August 2nd. Please see attached for the ASB order form for the 2022-23 school year.

At registration, students will receive a list of classes they are slated to take for the year. Registration is the last time most changes will be made to the schedule, so please make sure to verify the list and ensure that there are no errors. This list will not contain teacher information or period order. That information will be made public and viewable on Aeries shortly before the first day of school. Please know that we are not able to grant teacher or period order requests.

Anytime there are over 2800 students that are coming at going at approximately the same time, there is going to be traffic. Please be patient and courteous while driving in our parking lots. We have Irvine Police monitoring the lot on a regular basis and will have a limited number of school staff assisting with traffic, but please be aware that there will still be traffic in the lot. To assist, please make sure to arrive early and carpool if possible. We also ask that freshmen and sophomores plan on entering campus through the back parking lot, while juniors and seniors enter through the front (image below).
