Welcome to Glenbard East High School! We are looking forward to meeting your student on Orientation Day! Glenbard East participates in a nationally recognized program called Link Crew. Link Crew is an organization whose sole purpose is to help freshmen feel more comfortable, as well as help them to achieve success in their first year of high school.
The Link Crew program will help to welcome your incoming freshman on a more personal level. Each incoming freshman will be assigned a responsible older student, our Link Crew Mentors, who will help to show your incoming student what it means to belong to the East community.
The student orientation is designed for students only. We respectfully ask parents and guardians NOT to attend with their incoming freshman. Grilled hot dogs will be served for lunch (we will have a vegetarian option upon request).
Following is some information to let you know what you and your student can expect on orientation day:
