Week of October 21

Hello Ranchers!!!

We have a very busy week ahead so please make sure you read and plan accordingly.

A pep rally will be held Friday from 2:30 to dismissal - more details will be forthcoming. 

In preparation for next week’s Homecoming, please plan to participate and encourage students to participate… it is what you make it…some positive school spirit is always a good thing!
  • Spirit Days flyer and PowerPoint were attached to an email from Tracy Repko (10/16 1:45PM)
  • Student Council and Leadership Class students plan on decorating the halls this weekend (see below which halls and the theme)
  • If you would like to decorate your own door…. Please feel free to do so.  There is not anything formal planned… but we are playing the Hornets so that could be fun to create!  And would help with momentum!
HALLS BEING DECORATED…
Movie Madness Monday               Junior- cafe hall from attendance to cafe door
Too Tired Tuesday                          Sophomore- lunch corridor to stairwell in D
Way Back Wednesday                   Freshman- front door to trailer door
Growing Up Thursday                    Seniors- upstairs D
Cowboys vs Aliens Friday               Leadership- Main Hall: Cowboys vs and Aliens
FRONT AND BACK DOOR               Cheerleaders
Mrs. Repko and the students thank you in advance for your support!!!!

We have a VERY busy week ahead with athletic events, Chorus concert, Orchestra Concert and all Homecoming activities, including the Homecoming Dance Saturday night. Any help at these events would be greatly appreciated.  Please see the calendar below for all events scheduled.

This coming Friday is the end of the first quarter.Please make sure your students are making up 45 minutes for each block absent. Do not count the first 3 days. Mrs. O'Neal will send another Attendance Waiver list out as well. Any student who has NOT completed their make up time should receive a 55 as their grade until they have made up time. If their grade is lower than a 55, please use that grade. Please do not put a grade on a student's report card that will send the homes a false understanding of their student's grades. 
It's back! The SWGHS Parent Empowerment Summit. An amazing opportunity for our community members to visit an array of sessions that will help them better navigate as a parent! Lock it down in your calendar and share it with all! Post this on your door, set up an incentive with your class so their parents attend. If you have any interest in being a part of this in any way, please do not hesitate to reach out to Michelle Phillips!
Teachers:  Please begin to share the information with your email distribution lists.  Talk about it with your students as well.  The Parent Empowerment Summit is specifically for parents and guardians of middle and high school students however, students are welcome to volunteer. We will have childcare provided by our Early Childhood Classes.  Student groups from HOSA, SAVE and Service Learning will be participating at this time.  If additional students would like to volunteer or would like to represent an organization, please have them see Mrs. Michelle Phillips.

Parents:  No need to register for the free event.   This event has been well attended in the past and many parents have said it was the best parent workshop they ever attended. 

Ways to Win Prizes:
Teachers:  You will be entered into a drawing to win GOOD gift cards if you do any of the following…
  1. Copy Michelle Phillips on email distribution sharing the event and encouraging parents to attend
  2. Send proof that you invite friends on FB or share the event on Facebook
  3. Send proof of communication with students regarding how they will earn extra credit if their parent attends (a list of attendees will be sent to SWGH staff following the event with student names)
  4. You will be entered twice if you volunteer at the event, sign up sheet will be posted soon near the workroom (plus you will earn comp time for upcoming snow days)
  5. Lastly, if you have a way to advertise or get more parents to attend, let Michelle Phillips know as well. 
Thank you, this event is truly a team effort.

Great job to all tutorial teachers who provided the proper passes for Tuesdays and Thursdays and held high expectations for students to arrive at 3:30 and stay until 4:30. The halls did not have any "roamers" and were dismissed at the bell, not before. Kudos!!!


As Mr. Miller mentioned in PD on Wednesday, students need to start wearing their badges/lanyards. Students can have any lanyard they'd like, and if they need one, let one of their teachers know (there are a bunch in the mail room). 
This coming week, while we will all start telling students to wear cards. we need to ask them to have them displayed when checking the dress code. On Thursday and Friday of this coming week, we will put out the swiping machines, just so that they can see the new placements. The language from the staff to students is that we will start 2nd Quarter with swipes. (10/29). 



October 21st - October 25th is CFNC NC College Application Week and the counseling team at SW is working hard to ensure ALL seniors take advantage and have access to the opportunity. To help with the cause we need you to STOP and ASK! If you know, work directly with, or see a senior in passing STOP and ASK them the following questions:
  1. What are your plans after high school?
  2. Have you taken the SAT or ACT?
  3. Have you and your parents filled out the FAFSA?
  4. Have you and your parents filled out the Residency Determination Status (RDS) form?
  5. How do you plan to pay for your college experience?
Based on their response, please send them to their respective counselor to assist, even seniors who are not college bound! In addition, if the spirit moves you, talk about your college experience to spark interest and thought. Thank you for your participation!

In addition, 

Seniors will have the opportunity to receive assistance for college applications Monday Oct. 21-Oct. 23rd in Media Center. A link was sent out to students to sign up. Although we have sent a link, we will not turn away students that need help. Students will have a green and white CFNC sticker as proof that they attended the lab for help. 

If they need assistance after the scheduled lab days, please send them to their assigned counselor.

You will receive a NC Countdown to College flyer in your box. If you could fill out the flyer and post it on your door during this week that would be great!
