Week of May 21

Team, 


I hope each and everyone of you enjoyed your teacher appreciation week. The administrative team appreciates everything each and everyone of you do on a daily basis for the students of Southwest Guildford High School. 

Moving forward, I would like to challenge you and your health as we finish the year strong. I will allow you to wear jeans ANY day for the rest of the year ONLY IF you have exercised for 30 minutes the prior day. This exercise will not count if it relates to your professional responsibilities/duties (walking the hall for sweeps, walking to the copier, walking to the car, parking lot duty, walking to meetings, listening to Glenn Boulton, etc..... I think you understand. :))  However, if you want to walk the halls before or after school,or even during your planning for 30 minutes, at home, at a gym, etc, that will work.) All I ask is to make a note that you exercised and date it on our invisible dry erase "Wellness" board in the office hallway across from Mrs. Harris' and Mrs. Phillips'  office. I.e "Hettenbach - 5/23")
We will stick to the honor system with this challenge to finish up the year. As we all know, teachers are some of the best snitches, but not as good as the administrators. :) 



The countdown begins.....we are only 9 full regular days away from the start of teacher made exams on June 4th, and we are 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 the following groups:

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 9 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. 

Mandatory Senior meeting is Monday in the Coggins Gym during 2nd block. We will need supervision from teachers who have ALL senior enrolled classes at that time. 

Saturday, May 26th is the last Saturday School for seniors.

Thank you to the departments that provided me with necessary feedback to formulate survey questions to the staff. This will allow us to steer towards improvements from this past year. Your contributions to this are very important. 

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.
