Spring Break and the Week of April 9

Team -

First and foremost, I want to thank you for playing a role in the calmest week before Spring Break that I have personally experienced in all of my years in education. Maintaining instruction, being visible and active in your supervision expectations, refraining from parties, and focusing on consistency is a major role in creating this type of environment, especially before a holiday/break. For all of you who played their part in this, on behalf of the administrative team, thank you. Please enjoy your well deserved break and I look forward to seeing you on Monday, April 9th. 

This past Thursday we conducted an unannounced school wide lock-down drill. A great job overall and I appreciate your patience with this, especially on the day before break. In many cases, it was great to see doors barricaded as that is exactly what you would do in a real situation!  We learned a few things that we need to brainstorm about such as: how does a sub lock his/her door and how does the computer lab door get locked if the teacher does not have a master key. Other than that, remember to communicate to your immediate evaluating supervisor of whether or not kids are accounted for, that you are out of sight during procedures, no noise, all lights are off and that any and all drills are non-negotiable in practicing. All normal activities must immediately stop. Thank you to all of you who contributed to the feedback needed to improve safety and security at SWHS.

The building can be accessed during Spring break from 8-3. If your fob does not work, Mr. Smith (Lead Custodian) can be reached on his cell as he will be in the building at that time: Cell - 336-847-4831.

We reached 100% participation on the Teacher's Working Condition Survey! A big thank you in advance to all of you as your feedback will be vital to the adjustments that will be needed by administration, staff, the students and the community. Hopefully all of you who took part in the jean day, it gave a you a little extra relaxation going into your well deserved break. 

As you can see below, the last day for students to make up time/work is 4/20. Anything after that must have a pretty extreme reason and should be approved by me. 

Per Mrs. Cline:


Grades are due the end of the day on Thursday, April 12th.

Grade changes can be submitted after report cards have been printed.  I have attached the grade change form that has to be filled out for all grade changes. You will make the change in your gradebook but you have to give me the form to let me know what you have changed in order for me to store the grade in their historical marks.   

You should be entering grades for all students. INC’s are only for students that have had medical issues or student’s that have been pre-approved by Mr. Hettenbach to receive INC’s.

Students that need to make up time due to too many absences should receive an “55” and use comment code:
56244- An “55” indicates the attendance policy was violated

To add a comment for an individual student see step #4, to add a comment for the entire class to see step #8.

You will need to print out and give to me only the Score Sheet which is your spreadsheet with assignments & Final Grade. (screen shots are included in the attachment so you can see exactly what I am asking for)

By following these instructions below you can make sure your name & class are on your spreadsheet-

Report cards will be printed on April 16th and they will be given to students Tuesday, April 17th
 
Once again, a reminder as we start approaching the end of the year, GCS is expecting all staff to attend HS Graduation ceremonies and be in regalia. With this expectation, I will provide a FULL day of comp time that can be used for NEXT school year. The Graduation date for SWHS is Saturday, June 16 at 9:00 AM at the Greensboro Coliseum. More information will follow. It is expected that staff have the same expectations as students when it comes to dress attire. In other words, shorts, loafers, tank tops, hats would not be considered appropriate. For those of you that were at graduation last year, it really was a beautiful thing to see and recognize the staff for all that they do in front of 5000 people. You all deserve this at the very least. 

Reminder: The building will always be open on Sunday from roughly 7-1 due to Piedmont Chapel church.
