Week of March 16

Team,

Please make sure you are connected as best possible to important social media sites with Southwest (if possible, either Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, as well as Guilford County Schools' social media). It seems to be that Facebook is the most used social media platform. 

Here is the most updated communication from GCS:

COVID-19 UPDATE (Mar. 12, 2020; 6:50pm): GCS announced several new protocols to help limit the spread of COVID-19. The district made the changes as state officials announced the virus had spread to more North Carolina counties.

Effective Friday, March 13, GCS is:

Postponing and/or cancelling school and district events of 100 people or more such as concerts, plays, theater productions, dances and assemblies

Canceling all student field trips and travel.

Restricting visitor and volunteer access to schools to parents or guardians only.

A reminder of my announcement I made and sent to staff via e-mail.  

I will continue to update everyone on where Southwest Guilford High Stands as it relates to the coronavirus. It is extremely important for you all to be on our facebook, twitter, or Instagram page, as well as all Guilford County Schools’ social media outlets, as well as listen to Guilford county schools as well as any Southwest connect ed messages. Please remind your parents of the importance to listen to these messages fully. If your parents are not getting these messages they must update their number to our data manager, Mrs. Kristy Cline immediately.   You may have heard that Northern Guilford and Gateway have closed. It is only confirmed at this time that they are cleaning their buildings out of precaution. The Health department still has not confirmed any cases in Guilford County.

At this time here is where we stand:

There are no large extra curricular gatherings with any school related events.

All clubs will not meet at this time

Visitors and volunteers to schools will be restricted except to parents and guardians. Parents and guardians will only be allowed to visit students in the front office.

No one outside of students and staff will be allowed in any classroom

All meetings that involve parents, such as conferences, PTSA booster clubs, etc should meet online only. All field trips even to neighboring schools are canceled

All athletics will be suspended as of midnight tonight through April 6.

Staff – no deliveries of meals for your lunch please.

Parents should make every effort to prepare students’ lunches before school and not deliver them to school.

As a reminder, the coronivarus pandemic is by nature unpredictable. Our plans and communications  will continue to change as new information and additional guidance are received from public health experts. Continue to refrain from any information that has not been shared by either myself, Guilford County Schools, The Guilford Health Department as well as the state of North Carolina.

Students who paid for the SAT and are attending tomorrow, Saturday, is still on.

Please make sure you have all communications through social media and phone numbers updated so you can be in the know at all times

If we do close, the school system is currently working on online as well as other means to provide you with ongoing academics.

I am very proud of our staff and students along with their families for refraining from passing inaccurate information. You all are the best!

It’s Registration Time!  The 2020-21 school year is quickly approaching.  Students are now  meeting with their school counselor between February 24^th through April 17^th  to review their course requests and prepare for next school year.
