Parents,
On this 19th anniversary of September 11th I want you to be aware of how we recognized the occasion with our students and Green Hill community. Our JROTC instructors, LTC Murray and CSM Acla lowered our flag to half-staff in a brief remembrance ceremony this morning. During the morning announcements the following was read over the intercom system: “Today marks the 19-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia, and United Airlines Flight 93 which crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. It is a day of remembrance for the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001, which included first responders. September 11 is considered a National Day of Service and Remembrance. Flags fly at half-staff on this day to remember that morning, and to acknowledge the heroic Americans who responded with courage, charity, and sacrifice. Please use our moment of silence today to honor of the lives lost on 9/11, 2001.”
Class fees for Green Hill High School are now available to be paid using School Cash Online (https://link.zixcentral.com/u/6de559eb/dAsCqGj06hGOWaa6hnsoMg?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wcschools.com%2FPage%2F4671). We will only accept fee payments via the online platform, beyond the decrease in movement of items from hand-to-hand this is a protective measure we can extend to our teachers by limiting the opportunity for mishandling school funds and preserving class/planning time. I appreciate your help and support in this matter.
School Entrance Clarification:
While our campus is currently restricted for visitors, there is still the need for late check-ins or early sign-outs. If you are coming to sign a student in or out, please part at the Commons Entrance (facing Lebanon Road) and enter the office on the right. The front office (facing N. Greenhill Road) should be used for appointments only.
Senior ACT/Junior Practice Exam:
Reminder — The Senior ACT is scheduled for September 22nd. For that day, Freshmen & Sophomores will be on a Remote Day and only Juniors & Seniors will attend school regardless of A or B and includes Virtual students. The Seniors will take the ACT, and the Juniors will participate in a practice exam that will come with results, test preparation focus, and an online test prep program we can use to get them ready for the State Exam in March. Students wishing to leave upon completion of the exam need to bring an excuse note to their testing administrator. Students need to bring #2 pencils, an approved calculator, and a photo ID. No phones or smart watches are permitted in the testing rooms.
I, __________ (parent), give __________ (student) permission to be excused upon completion of the ACT exam. (date)
School Counseling Department:
1. Counselors will begin assisting seniors in signing up for TN Promise through their homerooms next week. Seniors should know their social security numbers, and seniors who are also dual enrollment students should know their TSAC Login (used to apply for dual enrollment grant).
2. Counselors will begin a "senior spotlight" bulletin board outside of the counseling office to help recognize our first senior class.
3. TN Higher Education Commission is offering FREE webinars called Paying for College 101. This is especially beneficial for juniors, seniors, and their families, but anyone is welcome. Webinars are offered several times daily, making it convenient for you and your family, but you must register to participate! Registration can be found here: https://link.zixcentral.com/u/590b8761/5McCqGj06hGrYqa6hnsoMg?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tn.gov%2Fthec%2Fcovid-19-campus-information%2Foutreach-virtual-presentations.html
4. For parent/teacher conferences, counselors will be available to help support parents/guardians and teachers during meetings. If you wish to schedule a meeting solely with your child's counselor, please reach out to them directly by contacting the counseling office at 615-773-9611.
5. Vol State is hosting a drive-thru college fair for high school students and their families. College reps from top area colleges and universities will be on site to provide information, and the drive-thru format allows for students and families to remain socially distant and safe. It will be on September 17 from 4-6 PM in Lot D on the Vol State campus. Register today at: https://link.zixcentral.com/u/6f73c450/KhgDqGj06hGg9Ka6hnsoMg?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fcollege2020VS!
