SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Freshman and new student orientation begins at Santa Barbara High School on Wednesday morning.
Principal Elise Simmons said they are calling it an orientation because freshman and new students have never been shown the campus due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Simmons said other students will be showing the incoming students around in small groups. They will learn where their classes will be held, where the cafeteria is located, and how they will start the day with temperature checks.
They will also wear lanyards with colors designating their class. And they will be reminded to stay six feet apart inside classrooms and outdoors.
A group of parents drove by the Santa Barbara Unified School District office and honked their horns Tuesday afternoon, in support of reopening the school for in-person learning.
