Principal's Update 1.2

Parents & Students,

I hope everyone is having a good summer break. As we make final preparations for the start of school I will begin sending community updates to students and parents. My email lists are created from Skyward, so make sure you have preferred email addresses and correct contact information in Skyward when you register.

We have enjoyed having some of the 9th grade students in the building this week. I encourage our students to connect to something (club, art program, sport, etc.). Students, if you feel there is not an opportunity to engage, please let me know so we can determine if there is a way for us to meet that need. A quote from Einstein has been resonating with relation to what we offer at school, “not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.” We have got to be about more than grades and test scores, those are important and cannot be discounted, but balance is important. I stand by my philosophy that the school is held up equally by a Culture of Care and Academic Press. 

Parking:

A link for a Google Form will be sent out on Monday. Students will need to login using their school issued account and complete all information & payment prior to picking up a parking tag.

Pick Up Information - Front/Main Office (N. Greenhill Rd. Side), 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Seniors - Thurs 7/29

Juniors - Fri 7/30

Soph   - Tues 8/3

Service Learning Opportunity:

I recently read the following quote: “Every school has core operations handled by competent support staff. Few, though, tap these support functions to help students advance important life and academic skills.” With this in mind, I feel we are underutilizing our Service Learning program and would like to create opportunities for students to work under Green Hill HS staff to “advance important life and academic skills.” The link below provides student expectations and a link to the application.

School Counseling Department:

Counselors communicate school wide through email and Remind.  Students should regularly check their school-assigned Google email accounts, and parents/guardians and students both should consider subscribing to the grade-level specific Remind account messages.  To subscribe, text the appropriate code below to number 81010.

11^th Grade:  @2023ghhs

10^th Grade:  @ghhs2024

9^th Grade:  @ghhs2025

Dual Enrollment:  @ghhsde

COVID Protocols:

As of today, masks are optional for students. We will still be required to contact trace if we have a student in the building who tests positive. The same quarantine requirements {10-day for the positive test; 10 days for close contact  (if you test negative on the 6th day you can come back on the 7th day)} are in effect. The only exceptions are if a student has tested positive for Covid in the last 90 days, or they have received the vaccination; this is the approved Wilson County Schools plan. My recommendation is if a student meets either one of these criteria to take a picture of the documentation of the vaccination card or positive test result (with date) so in the event they are identified as a close contact, they have documentation not to be sent home on quarantine.

Open House:

We will host an Open House the night of August 9th from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm. This will be a come and go event. Our wonderful PTO will be selling Spirit Wear.

Class Schedules:

Student schedules will be available on Skyward the evening of August 3rd. While there may be schedule changes you want to request at that time, those requests will need to wait for the form to be released. We will have plenty of personnel prepared to assist students as they navigate from class to class that first day. If your student is concerned about familiarity with the building, we have several walkthrough videos on the website and/or social media. 

School Pictures & Student IDs:

Picture day for the yearbook and student IDs will be August 20th. Additional information relating to IDs will be distributed along with the ID, however for those students who have one from the previous year I encourage you to also take a picture of it with your phone in the case you forget it. We also have the photographs uploaded into Skyward, but this is an added layer of support.

Attendance Information:

Early dismissal notes will need to be turned in by 11:00 in order for staff to validate the dismissal. Additionally, students will not be signed out after 3:30. Dual Enrollment students should arrive prior to the scheduled class time, and will only be allowed to sign out at designated class changes. 

Attention Senior Parents:  

Please remember to contact and schedule an appointment with Loveless Photography at (615) 890-1558 for yearbook and Senior photos. Green Hill uses Loveless Photography as our official photographer and the photos they take are the ones we use in the yearbook and for the Senior composite. We cannot accept any other photographer's pictures.  

Loveless will be on campus October 22nd for Senior pictures. This date will not have a sitting fee unless you want to choose the pose that goes into the Yearbook. 

Please make sure you call and schedule an appointment with Loveless soon!

GHHS Theatre Auditions:

We are holding auditions for The Giver and A Christmas Carol Radio Play on August 2nd, 3rd & 5th. Information and sign up links can be found at:

School Supplies:

Students will receive lists from their teachers on the first day of school. To be prepared on the first day, a writing utensil and paper are all that will be necessary.

Following the school social media accounts will keep you up to date on information and changes:
