Principal's Update 36.1

Parents & Students,

I have the testing calendar posted in the text of this email. Please make sure to arrive at school in a timely manner and be present in your testing site prior to 8:45 (also, know ahead of time where you are testing!). If your student is going to be signed out during testing, it is better for them to not be present as we cannot pull students from testing sites once we have commenced. Additionally, if a student misses a subpart of an exam, they cannot move to the next subpart without making up that portion first (it must be sequential). 

We will have to collect Chromebook devices prior to the end of school, however we will still have lessons/classes/school. If we are present, we need to be engaged in learning.

PTO Information:

Slim Chickens Spirit Night: Stop by Slim Chickens any time Thursday, May 13th, between the hours of 4-9 pm. When you place your order with the cashier, tell them you are with "GHHS" and they will make a donation to the school.

Message from Nurse Sarah:

The school year is rapidly ending. All medications, supplies, snacks, etc. need to be picked up in the school health office by the parent/guardian or a designee by the following date: 5/28/21.  Leave at school only enough medication and supplies to cover through the end of the school year.  Any medications and supplies left at school after 6/4 will be discarded by the nurse.  With the exception of inhalers and emergency epinephrine, medications will not be given to students to transport home and no medications or supplies will be stored over the summer. You must speak with your school nurse to make arrangements for inhalers or emergency epinephrine to be sent home with your student. They will be discarded if not picked up or alternate arrangements are not made. New forms are needed each year for administration of both prescription and over-the-counter medications, in addition to medical procedures. Please have these forms completed over the summer and returned by the first day of school. The required paperwork is available on the county website or may be picked up at your school health office. School personnel will not accept medication without the proper paperwork and procedures will not be performed.  Also, medications and supplies are to be brought to school only by the parent/guardian or a designee.  You can email me at bainesar100@wcschools.com to arrange pick-up of medications.   For the next school year;  you can reach me by email after July 31^st to make an appointment to sign in medications and supplies for the 21/22 school year.  Thank you for your help and cooperation.
