This weekend is Memorial Day weekend. Memorial Day is a solemn day of remembrance for everyone who has died serving in the American armed forces.Please take a moment to reflect during the weekend and think about those who have served.
On behalf of the senior class, what a great day on Friday! Thank you to everyone who contributed in every single activity that the seniors participated in. The amount of work that takes place behind the scenes is beyond what one can imagine. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who was involved!!
We now have 4 full instructional days left. It is clear that students are becoming a little restless as summer is approaching quickly. Please make sure we are reinforcing our school wide expectations, that instruction is engaging and bell to bell. If we do not finish strong, it will show through the students' behaviors and their academic performance during these last days of the year. Let's keep the foot on the gas as we are almost there.
We are still in need of your help. I need everyone to report any students who look like they are in danger of failing your class to:
With all of the expectations put on us throughout this campus, in our county and from the state, I am so proud of everyone who has stepped up to the wellness board. I certainly appreciate everyone adhering to the honor policy with the jean incentives for exercising 30 minutes the prior day. Please relax a little over this 3 day weekend. You are all very deserving of this extra time off. Great job!!!

We are still in need of your help. I need everyone to report any students who look like they are in danger of failing your class to:
E-mail:
12th grade = Rainey, Phillips, Hettenbach, Richards, Hudgens
11th grade = Barnum, Graves
10th grade = Monell, Hawkins
9th Grade = Compton, Hawkins
While I certainly do not want to emphasize one grade more than another, the next 4 days are the last days we are able to assist seniors.
When you e-mail the above groups, it is necessary to share all communications with contacts you have put forth. This is vital for these groups when having conversations with homes, and students.
This process should occur every week until we leave for the summer. No blindsides of failing grades should occur and remember to keep your communication logs.

An ongoing 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.
