Dear Family,

Preparations for the 2026-2027 school year are in full swing. Dorms are being readied, classrooms organized, and faculty are finalizing plans for the year ahead. We cannot wait to welcome you to campus on September 6 for New Student Registration Day!

ADVISOR & HOUSING INFORMATION

NOW AVAILABLE

Advisor assignments and housing placements are now available in the “Classes & Reports” section of Parent and Student Portals. Advisors will be in touch with new families by the end of August to introduce themselves!

Boarding Families: Your Admissions Counselor has shared roommate information with you directly. This information is not available from the family view in our portals. Student and family contact information is accessible via the Student Directory in Parent and Student Portals.

START-OF-YEAR ESSENTIALS

To help you navigate the back-to-school preparations, we have compiled this list of "Start of School Essentials." 

Wilderness Orientation

Now is the time to begin preparing and gathering essential equipment for Wilderness Orientation 2026! Learn more about Wilderness Orientation, and contact Kayden Will at willka@proctoracademy.org with any questions.

Magnus Health Forms

Please make sure to complete all Magnus Health forms before September 6. Access them through your Parent Portal and contact our Health Center Team with questions.

IMPORTANT: Note any medications, allergies, food intolerances, and food preferences in your student's Magnus Health forms. This information is essential to our Wilderness Orientation planning.

2026-2027 Permission Forms

One parent or guardian must complete the Boarding or Day Student Permission Form for each enrolled student by September 6. Look for emails from Orah (no-reply@orah.com). Contact studentlife@proctoracademy.org with questions about Orah access or school forms.

Two optional items:
