Week of November 27

Team -

Please take this Thanksgiving break to enjoy your friends and family. When we return, with all the breaks/holidays we have and will continue to experience through the end of this semester, we must remember to maintain structure as best possible. One way to do this is to demonstrate consistency in everything we do, particularly with student management. While I applaud the use of cell phones as a tool in the classroom, the supervision of this process needs to improve. When students are not following your expectations with using phones as an academic tool, follow the student handbook and confiscate them. Please know we are are seeing an increase in our students using social media and inciting drama DURING the instructional day.  Please take a moment and listen to our JV cheerleaders advice when it comes to students having their cell phones out for a non academic purpose.  

I look forward to seeing everyone Monday morning!

Team -

Please take this Thanksgiving break to enjoy your friends and family. Please know we are aware of how hard everyone is working and how well deserved this break is for all of you. As we move into a holiday in which we reflect for what we are thankful for, one of the things I am extremely thankful for, is the staff at SWHS and what you do for the students at our school.

Thank you.

Enjoy your break and I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday, November 27th.

Week of November 13th

Team -

An overall great job on administering the ACT to 10th graders last Wednesday! As we move forward administering more tests during the course of the year, please be sure we are following all directions from Ms. Shaw. Disregarding the testing code of ethics is something you certainly do not want to find yourself in the position of explaining. The ACT test date for 11th graders is set for February 27th... please mark your calendars.

After a week off from the Wednesday Walk throughs, we are back at it this coming week. Please check the schedule!

Consistency...... please be sure you are checking for dress code, electronic devices, checking passes, making phone calls, updating grades, no drinks and food in the classroom, etc.. Consistency is a GCS Core Value and it is something that the SW staff has brought to the administration that we need to work on..... Let's be on the same page with everything we do. 

Thank you for everything you continue to do to make Southwest GREAT!

Week of November 6th, 2017

Team -

Great job to everyone who continue to strive towards greatness at Southwest Guilford High School!! Just so everyone knows, this award selection is quite difficult as there are so many deserving recipients each month. A weekly awards program would certainly be more beneficial to celebrate what all of you are doing here on the Ranch. Remember that the Horace Mann Crystal Apple focus for November is on collaboration among peers. A big thanks to Mr. Murphy who assisst with the role as the emcee!

As we approach the Pre-ACT for 10th graders, please pay close attention to ALL testing instructions from Ms. Shaw, including any possible altered locations for all homerooms. Please help us by communicating these locations to your students, specifically the students who are displaced from their normal homeroom. 

Wednesday is an early release for all students at 1:35. Seniors, will be escorted to the Coggins Gym right after announcements. They will be released after all communications are shared. 9th and 11th will stay in their homerooms for the day. Report Cards will be shared in all locations, inlduing 10th grade locations.  

Incentive trips for Freshmen and Juniors occur this week. Please pay attention to e-mails pertaining to any allowable absences. 

Great job to everyone (observers and observed) who participated in this past week Wednesday walkthoughs! It is really a joy to listen to the professional conversation taking place amongst everyone!

Remember that Friday is a holiday and there is no school for staff and students. Also, I hope everyone remembers to change those clocks back one hour!

Thank you for everything you continue to do to make Southwest GREAT!
