The Walton Central School District high school hosted its annual freshman orientation night Tuesday, welcoming incoming students and families. The event provided an opportunity for students to meet their teachers before the start of the school year, and to get a preview of classes they will be taking. Additionally, students were able to familiarize themselves with the layout of the school, practice using their lockers, and learn where their classrooms are located. The orientation also gave insight on what it takes to succeed in high school, including an explanation of credit requirements, and the different Regents diplomas, which helped to ease the transition and set the stage for a successful year ahead. #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

Students taking driver’s education this summer took part in a session with representatives from the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council (ADAC) of Delaware County this week. During the session, representatives from the ADAC took students through a sober speedway impaired driving obstacle course, as well as other activities such as a field sobriety test and other hands-on games while using impairment goggles. Though students had fun during the session, they were also taught what could happen to them legally in these situations. The students used a pedal car to navigate the obstacle course while wearing the goggles, giving them the experience of seeing what real-life consequences can come from driving impaired. After driving the course students were given tickets for what they did wrong – such as running over a cone, or sideswiping a tree etc. It was also explained what could happen to them if this was real – such as possible punishments. Representatives from the ADAC were Alysia Schmidt and Susan Fairchilds (prevention educators), and Bobbi Perry (recovery coach). Thank you to the ADAC for putting on this important session!
