Week of March 19

Team -

This past week, we reviewed the tornado drill and fire drill in 3 of 4 lunches in the cafeteria with the 4th lunch reviewing this drill on Monday. This is one location that we received many responses back on areas that we need to learn and practice.  We also implemented guidance and a reminder for subs when they check in on the computer in the front office. They will be prompted every single time they visit SW that their very first task when entering a classroom is to locate the teacher's safety plans. Please make sure these plans are easily accessible for your subs and peers who visit your room. This week, we have a school wide lockdown drill to practice. You should have already received information from Dr. Monell regarding this. If you can not locate it, please reach out to Dr. Monell. After this week we will review the expectations behind "Run, Hide, Fight". 

As a reminder, grades should be updated at least once a week in Power School and then immediately before interim reports/report cards. The purpose of these updates is to allow parents to support you, assist their child, praise their child, and more. Please make sure you are updating Power School at least once a week. Any student with a D or an F (or a two letter grade drop from an A to a C) should receive a phone call home. Last, all zeros should always be entered, even if a student is out sick. While we all know you will work with a student who is out for medical reasons, failing to enter that zero is not an accurate reflection of their current grade. If the child forgets to make up any missed work, the parent never had an opportunity to intervene and therefore gets blindsided by the zeros being entered as interim reports or report cards get distributed.

Congratulations to SWHS DECA! SWHS had 40 proficiency winners out of 59 who competed, multiple medallion winners for role plays and their marketing tests. SWHS had 6 National winners. 4 more competitors were finalists but did not get in the top 5. Please assist me in congratulating the advisors and the students who represent us well! 
The students going to Nationals are: Kevin Duong, Joseph Yoo, Sam Shores, Spencer Shores, Emma Sikes, Vanessa Sourisak. These students will compete at the International competition in Atlanta in April. Go SWHS DECA!!!

A big thank you for your supervision during last Wednesday's walk out. It was a very safe  and orderly (and cold) event for both students who chose to participate as well as those who chose not to.  If you hear anymore discussions from students about future walk outs, please keep me in the loop. It is my hope that the students feel good about the event, know how we need to move forward, and can allow instruction not to be interfered with as we approach the end of the year. We have already had students approaching administration wanting to lead new clubs surrounding important topics such as anti gun violence, students against drunk driving, students against violence everywhere, Let's Start with Hello, and more! This demonstrates how successful Wednesday was.  
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.
