We are now heading into exam week! Monday and Tuesday are regular school days slightly modified for 1st an 3rd block exams on Monday, and 2nd and 4th on Tuesday (schedule is posted below). Please make sure your students are aware, especially those that do not have a full schedule. They are used to arriving and leaving at a set time.
Please remember that any classes that are not finished should not be using this time to simply watch movies, play games, conduct parties, therefore using class time that has no connection to your curriculum,. The parent calls are already coming in reporting teachers that have stopped teaching. We need to quickly put a stop to this and keep our students engaged for the next two days. I really appreciate the adjustments that need to be made.
Another reminder that 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:
While I certainly do not want to emphasize one grade more than another, the next 2 days are the last days we are able to assist seniors while they are in your class.
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 right up to the very end. No blindsides of failing grades should occur and remember to keep your communication logs.
The building is being unlocked Saturday from roughly 7-2:30 if anyone is interested in coming in, inviting students for any tutorials. There will already be some EOC boot camps occurring so you will not be alone.
The wellness board continues and I appreciate how full it has become with the documentation of your dedication towards improving one's wellness. Keep it up!
Below is a wonderful opportunity surrounding mental health and some training the county is providing to assist our young people. Feel free to sign up.

Youth Mental Health First Aid Training
Youth Mental Health First Aid Training
is being offered June 11th ,
in room 201 at Washington Street. It will be offered again this summer,
July 17 and 18, 2018, at the EC Summer Institute at UNCG. Youth Mental
Health
First Aid Training is primarily designed for adults who
regularly interact with young people. The course introduces common mental
health
issues for youth, reviews typical adolescent development and teaches a 5-step
action plan for how to help young people in both crisis and non-crisis
situations. To register, use this link: GCS: Mental Health First Aid forYouth.
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.
