Week of May 7

Team -

We are seeing very basic dress code issues (not minor ones) failing to be addressed. Please know I understand how we may miss certain items... but skirts that are mid thigh, t-shirts without a SW focus, Adidas striped sweatpants, etc should be a fairly easy recognition.  I would like each of you to figure out a way how this can be better recognized for the purpose of consistency. Example... being at the door greeting students, implementing a "Madeline Fuentes" 30 second dress code check to start the class... and I'm sure there's more. Thank you ahead of time for making this effort.

A big thank you to all of you who do what you need to do for the students and this school on a daily basis. We are by no means perfect and we have lots of work to do, but please know that I certainly acknowledge your hard work and greatly appreciate it every day. Thank you for your positive contributions. 

As AP testing starts, there will be minimal if at all any afternoon announcements, since the all call goes to the gym as well. Please make sure that the students know it is even that much more important to pay attention to the morning announcements. 

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.
