Week of February 25th

Hello Ranchers,

We have a busy week ahead of us with extracurricular activities on the calendar. A reminder that Monday is a regular school day for staff and students, no longer a workday.

Monday night is our annual curriculum night for all under classmen (1st time doing this event for upperclassmen) and rising 9th graders. While all students and parents will be able to interact with all of you regarding all the curricular opportunities at SW, we will also have an AP potential overview as well as a FAFSA completion session for families who haven’t completed the FAFSA or have questions regarding it. It is vital that all classes/curriculum are represented by staff. 

As we approach this event on February 25th, please fill out the forms below to assist the counselors.

Someone from each content area should complete the signup form.

It’s Registration Time!  GCS has transitioned to using the online registration system via PowerSchool.  This means that teachers input their course recommendations for students into PowerSchool and when students register for classes they see the recommendations that have been made.  It is extremely important that ALL Core (Math, English, Science, & Social Studies) teachers input recommendations for students for BOTH semesters.  Please refer to Kristy Cline's e-mail on 2/18, 2:22PM for specific directions.  GCS requires us to use this system.  If you have questions please ask the grade level counselor or Mrs. Cline. 

The teacher recommendation window DEADLINE is March 1.  The registration window for students will open on March 8-March 17.  Please keep in mind that all of the students that you have had in your classes this school year need to have a recommendation in the system. 

(Compton-9th, 10th-12th: Graves: A-D, Hawkins: E-L, Richards: M-R, Hudgens: S-Z)

Come check out the 3rd Annual SWHS Black History program from 6PM to 8PM in our auditorium on Thursday.  Cost is $2.00. Come out and support these students who are putting on this wonderful program! If you have attended the last two years, you would agree with me that this is an awesome event!

Grading must be put in PowerSchool each week. If you think as a parent who wants to be an active part of a child's academics, it is hard to play that role when there is no documentation to respond to. Please keep the grades updated each week, and make sure you are providing enough grades as you navigate through the semester.

Please reinforce to the students to be wearing the cards around their neck. Look how happy she is wearing that lanyard!
