MAZE DAY 2026
Returning Student MAZE
Monday, August 3rd and Tuesday, August 4th
8:00 AM – 12:30 PM
During MAZE Day, students will go through a series of stations to take ID pictures, receive their class schedule, choose their lockers, and more! The Viking Vendor will be open for students to buy any school merch they need, and clubs will also host booths for students to learn about all the active clubs on campus and sign up for those that they find interesting!
This year we have made some big changes to MAZE. First you can now use 5-Star to select your time slot for MAZE. You can sign up starting July 1st . This will not only provide more flexibility but will also allow us to reduce wait time for everyone. Also please note the Clubs and Activities Fair is open during all of MAZE and you can explore clubs before or after your MAZE time slot.
Maze Day is a student-only event. It should take students about an hour to complete the MAZE process.
New Student MAZE
Wednesday August 5th
8:00 AM – 2:45 PM
Freshmen and New Students have a special orientation during MAZE Day. As new students check in, they will be partnered with a New Crew Leader who will take them on an orientation tour in addition to completing the MAZE Day stations. During New Student MAZE Day on Wednesday there will be a parents area near the courtyard with orientation information for parents to learn more about Irvington High School.
