Good evening, this is Wayne Duggins, Principal of Southwest Guilford High School.
I have just a few quick items to share with you.
Tomorrow, Monday, September 26th, we will begin silent sustained reading during our 3rd period block. 3rd Block is a little longer than the other blocks each day and we want to take advantage of this time and allow students to read at their leisure and also about topics that interest them. Students can read books, magazines, textbooks, newspapers, comics books, etc... Research shows that students who read daily for pleasure perform better in school.
Also tomorrow, Monday, September 26th, we will have make-up portraits for seniors. If you are getting your portrait done, you should have signed up for an appointment. Don't forget to bring your $10.00.
Juniors and seniors, have you ever considered Governor's School? Governor's School is a 5 week experience for students who excel in academics or the arts. Applicants must be NC residents and have a 92% or above on an approved achievement test. Information sessions will be held on Tuesday, September 27th at Western High School and Thursday, October 6th at Andrews High School. For more information, contact your school counselor.
Parents and Students, Powerschool is up and you now have access to your child's grade through the parent portal. If you have never used the parent portal, you will love the access you have to your child's progress. You can access this service through our school website under the parent tab. The portal log in access is there along with directions on how to set it up. If you have trouble, please email Mrs. Kristy Cline our data manager at clinek2@gcsnc.com for assistance.
Parents, we are still having a few of you dropping off and picking up your children in the back student parking lot. Drop off and pick up is in the front of the school. We have a lot of young inexperienced driver's back there and we want to keep them separated from our parent drivers. I appreciate your help.
