If we think the games have begun, the next few weeks will be even that much more exciting! Phew.... We have a couple of big weeks coming up with the closing out of the building and three dates for the pick up and drop off, as well as the drive through graduation. Big shout out to Stephanie Powell who has been non stop gathering assistance from the staff to make all these moving parts work. Kudos!!! You and all your help are appreciated!
On the days listed below, ALL STAFF will be required to gather any belongings
necessary and “close out” your classroom for summer cleaning.
We will be conducting a drive through for pick up and drop off of items, including the pick up of yearbooks purchased. Everyone must stay in their cars at all times and wear masks. The dates and times are as followed. There is a QR code within the document that connects with a form allowing students to communicate where personal items are so that we may get them to the students on these days. These multiple opportunities will allow us to get as many report cards, diplomas etc. out to all students who are up to date with their school responsibilities. Staff members who need to distribute/collect items should inform Stephanie Powell. Please share this information with all your students.
From the desk of Kristy Cline:
The Staff Fitness Challenge can be found on the SW Canvas Page under the Distance Learning Module. Again, we encourage you all to participate.
Procedures (common within district) for
all days listed below:
- Custodians will supervise designated entrances/exits (please be kind to them as they will be following my directions)
- Non Contact Thermometer will be used to take each
person’s temperature - anyone with a fever will be sent home (Custodians will be handling this as you enter)
- Staff entering must wear gloves and masks the entire time (we will provide gloves)
- Each staff member is allowed only ONE friend/relative helper.
- Hand trucks will be readily available at your
designated entranceway and must be returned after use.
- Anyone that needs physical accommodations must request
this with the supervising custodians at the entranceway/exit
- ALL keys must be turned
in to custodians at this time. District has stated they are rekeying the exterior
doorways. This is mandatory. All keys, don;t worry about the fobs.
- Please do not congregate.
- All trash must be placed out in the halls - custodians will give you a bag. You can request more if needed.
- Do not bring any personal items INTO the building
- Fill out end of school year checklist Click this link... FORM Please print it, fill it out, and send it to Renee Harris (photograph and sending it will work as well)
- Empty your main office mailbox. Any remaining items will be handled as best possible as mailboxes will be reassigned due to incoming/outgoing staff.
- While all items do not have to be taken home, it is encouraged to take as much as possible. (especially since we do not know when we would return, nor are you allowed to return to the building until the county allows it)
- Whatever does NOT go home, should be put in your classroom closets, or boxed up, labeled and in the hallway. Why? The rooms will be completely sprayed down with disinfectant.
- Think of your floor being replaced (it is not 😊 but think of it that way as it relates to items that have to move). They will have to move EVERYTHING that is not secured to the ground for the purpose of "marking" the room. For example, shelves would need to be emptied and boxed. Anything on your walls/bulletin boards either should be covered with paper to protect it from the disinfect ruining it, or take it down and box it, or take it home. Anything on shelves should be boxed up and put in the halls, or take home (your choice). This includes ALL areas, yes, offices as well! Not book rooms, closets, stationary cabinets, etc. just areas where we walk, work, etc. Weight rooms, leave it all out for disinfectant reasons.
- We have PLENTY of brand new packing boxes. For anyone to use. 😊 Take as needed… do not
take what is NOT needed.
- I am looking into file
cabinets, overhead projectors, and Computers
- Keys …… it is confirmed that
EVERYONE must turn in ALL their keys as part of their closeout. It will
have to be pressing for a Principal to allow staff back in the building after
closeout procedures. However, ask me when that time comes so I can approve
or deny.
- There will be a
temperature check process EVERY time someone walks into the building…. Yes,
including ,me, every time I enter.... every time.
- Update Personal Information sheet for Renee and send it to her.
- There are a couple
surveys coming out from the district that need to be filled out….

Here are some key things to remember when collecting money:
- Only staff members can collect money (No students)
- Staff must write a receipt for $10 or more (if $9.99 or less a student list is needed)
- All funds must be turned in the day it is collected along with a collection report
- If you don’t have a receipt book please check one out
So, with that being said here is plan:
-Students (both Seniors and Underclassmen) will come during the times mentioned above to return materials and pick up materials.
-Seniors will get cords and tassels (Gold Tassels for 4.0 GPA and higher) during this time.
-Seniors will also be able to pay for Fees due to the school (Media Center, Athletics, Cafeteria,etc.) Connect eds will go out to these Seniors individually to let them know that they owe money.
-Anything that you need back can be dropped off during this time. That includes textbooks, calculators, novels, etc.
-Each table will be labeled with a teachers name (teachers that fill out the form below). If you can work these days and times, you can mark off what student gives you what back when they come through.(We need to minimize this to one department rep. No more than one department rep at these events-plan this with your department chairs) If you cannot work these days and times, it is your responsibility to let your students know how they should be returning your materials. For example: English 10 Students, please put your name either on a sticky note or on a piece of paper and place it inside of your novel and textbook when you return your materials during the drive through.
-All materials will be placed in those teachers classroom at the end of each event.
-Students/Parents/Guardians are NOT allowed to get out of the cars. I will make a poster for you to advertise this event.
-If you are working the event, you need to bring a mask to wear and we will have gloves. We still have to abide by the CDC guidelines while doing this.
The Dates and Times:
-May 26th 12am-2pm
-May 27th 6pm-8pm
-June 8th 6pm-8pm
We have created three dates, a day and two nights drive through so everyone can handle these responsibilities. Please tell the students to make adjustments now so they can handle their responsibility of dropping off or picking up items.
Pick up/Drop Supervisors...
Happy Friday from Stephanie Powell to those helping her with the pick up drop off days!
Process
1) You must be wearing a mask and
gloves! We have some gloves at the school, but not enough mask for
everyone.
2) There will be tables labeled with your
Department/Club. At these tables will be a print out of what I got from your
teachers, in your department, that filled out the form.
3) There will be boxes at your table for the
materials to go in. The students will drive up and dropped them in the box. We
are going for as contactless as we can.
4) If you are handing out cords, GCS is saying
that we need to hand them out in ziplock bags. If you have some, bring them. If
you do not, I will bring some! Maybe some with Disney on it.... 😄
5) If you are getting money for fees/tassels,
make sure that you are following the requirements that Renee put in her
email.
"If you will be
collecting money next week communicate with your students to bring correct change or checks/money
orders made payable to SWHS. This will
be the last time I will accept checks (money orders will still be accepted).
Please round the fees to the nearest dollar amount and anything under $10 will
not need to be receipted but you must provide a student list and the amount they paid. If the amount paid is
$10 and up a receipt must be issued."
6) When the event is over, the custodians
will then take the boxes to the room of those teachers.

Pro Grading Guidance
|
To assist
teachers, who teach Grades 9 through 11, with finalizing grades for the
2019/20 school year. Below are links to an FAQ and documents created to help
teachers understand the grading process.
|
Read carefully
the first page and half of the second page is only for yearlong classes.
******* J. Cox, Lovett, Muse, Wright, Vonsteen and Byrd. *******
Everyone
else has Semester classes so it will be Semester 1 and Semester 2 that you will
need to follow.
Rules:
- You must upload a screenshot of what you completed that day or week onto the padlet.
- The screenshot will only count if they have the following on them:
- The date
- The distance of how far you walked or ran
*If you need to figure out how to screenshot your fitness app results, just google it. I use GoogleFit and others may use MapMyRun or another fitness tracking devices. If you use a fitness watch of some sort, the only problem may be that the date will not show up so if you upload a picture of your fitness results from your watch and it does not have the date on it- it will not count. Again, going for accountability, your upload onto Padlet must have the date and the distance… along with your name on it. 😊
Prizes:
- Google Mini- Each week, after you upload a screenshot of you completing at least 3 miles during the week (either walking or running), you will have your name put into the drawing for it; which will be announced on June 8th.
- Tablet- automatically given to the staff member that runs or walks the most from 5/11 till 6/5. Again, you still have to upload a screenshot of what you completed each week.
**If anyone is still lost after watching the how to videos and wants a PLC on how to do this or what Padlet can do so you can use it in your own class, just email Jen Black and she will help you.**
HAVE FUN WITH THIS & WE ALL CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE RESULTS! 😊 #WEARESOUTHWEST
Please help Jae Bratton and her Yearbook staff push the remaining yearbooks our for sale.
Despite the pandemic, the yearbook is finished and on campus. They will be distributed on the dates mentioned above. We still have some books left, especially for those seniors who want some resemblance of normalcy to their senior year. To maintain social distancing, buy your yearbook online at www.yearbookforever.com and get your hands on something that will remind you of this unprecedented school year (and keep you busy while in quarantine!).
Graduation is upon us, and it may be upon us in two waves.... June 4th and 5th, as well as in July. As we all know staff attendance for graduations is mandatory. Don't worry yet about anything in July as we don't know what the governor will allow or disallow. Let's focus on the drive through. .You may sign up for multiple shifts if you would like (link is below). Station leaders are listed in the document and they will have all the directions for those days/times as we will be meeting with them on June 2nd. Be on the lookout for information from them either on June 2nd or June 3rd. . Staff who want to decorate their cars will be allowed to park in the front of the campus similar to the cap and gown distribution day. Staff who do not wish to decorate their car will be parking in the student lot. Supervisors will be in charge of you signing in. Each half day will count for a full day of flex time that may be used for next year.

Thank you to ALL AP teachers, and everyone else who assisted with the encouragement and guidance with the AP testing. I understand there were many kinks in this process and I wish GCS or I had control of this. Hopefully College Board learned a lot and are making adjustments in case we have to conduct this testing again.
I love you all, and we got this! Why? Because we are..... SOUTHWEST!!!
