Week of January 22

Team -

So much for that less than one inch of snow forecast! Please know I appreciate everyone paying attention to the daily closing and testing update communications and responding to any parents or students.

As a reminder, this Monday, January 22nd is a regular school day for staff and students. Please take advantage of Monday with using students who have already completed all their exams by assisting their peers in preparation for upcoming state exams. State exams will now start on Tuesday, January 23rd with 2nd block exam.  3rd block exam will occur on Wednesday, 4th block on Thursday and 1st block on Friday. These state exam days will end at 1:05 for dismissal.  Monday, January 29th is currently scheduled for a make up exam day. Students should be in dress code for all exams and will not be allowed to take their exam if out of dress code.

Any students who have GTCC classes on the day of state exams can be released ONLY after the exam is finished in the room. If he/she finishes, they must wait until the whole class is complete. 

The PTSA Walk the schedule night is still scheduled for Monday, February 5th from 6 PM to 7:30 PM starting in the auditorium. This is a wonderful time to meet your child's 2nd semester teachers. There will be a food truck and vendor truck on site to provide a proceed of their sales back to the PTSA. 

Thank you for being patient again this past week as GCS maintenance continues to address the heating issues around parts of our building. We will continue to be persistent on this issue until it gets resolved. The change with temperatures outside are certainly not helping us. As we come upon a warm week, we will make sure all boilers are cut off.

As a reminder, please make sure you are alerting the student's grade level counselor and administrator if you are nervous about a student failing your class. Additionally, please remind students of their make up time responsibilities and any work that needs to be made up. 

The testing exam schedule is as followed: (please refer to Ms. Shaw's testing plan for specifics especially as it relates to students needing modifications, separate locations)
