HFHS UNIFORMS:  Uniforms will be purchased at orientation.  Lab Coats are $29.00, Polos are $18.00, shipping is $2.00 for a total of $49.00.  ONLY cash or money orders payable to Purrfect Stitch, will be accepted.  Sorry, NO CHECKS!  Students will receive their uniforms at summer school in August.
ENROLLMENT PACKET: It will take you approximately 1 hour to complete.  Please read through it completely.  Some items are to be completed by the parent and some by the student.
APPOINTMENT?
(COMPLETED Packets will be accepted Monday, May 4th – Friday, May 8th).  IF you have the enrollment packet completed AND all of the necessary documentation, you do not need an appointment, please come into the office, (7am – 3pm) it should take approximately 15 minutes to review the information.
In the past, some parents walk in without anything completed in their packet.  If you choose to do this, please make an appointment.  You will be here for over an hour, maybe two.
CAN’T ATTEND?  If you are unable to make the meeting, you may pick up a packet after the orientation, beginning April 30th, between the hours of 7am-3pm.
AM I DONE?
If only it was that easy!  The enrollment process for Early College is not simple.  If you brought all of the necessary papers AND completed everything in the packet, there is still the HFHS Prescreening (ONLY IN AUGUST) and the flu vaccine.  You may find the Prescreening info on our website, https://earlycollege.dearbornschools.org/hfhs-info/ and every student MUST have a flu shot by Tuesday, November 24th.  The Early College office receives the information ONLY when the flu shot was given by someone “outside” of HFHS EMPLOYEE HEALTH.  Even if you have it done by a HFHS doctor, privacy laws prohibit HFHS Employee Health from receiving that information.
PS – The first day of school is Tuesday, September 8th.  The New Student Summer School begins on Tuesday, August 18th (times TBD) and ends on Thursday, August 27th (Students will receive CPR training during this time).
