Southwest Guilford High School Principal's Message for the Week of December 19, 2016

Good evening, this is Wayne Duggins, Principal of Southwest Guilford High School.

I have just a few quick items to share with you.

Parents and students, we only have 3 days until the winter break and then just 10 short days to finish out this semester when we return. Please contact our teachers with any questions regarding your progress so you can make up any missed assignments over the break. Don't let this semester get away from you.  

This Thursday (12/22) and Friday (12/23) there is no school for students. The winter break this year runs from 12/22/16 thru 1/3/17.

I have had a lot of questions regarding the absence that many students took on Thursday (12/15) due to the school rumor. We still had a regular school day and any and all assignments missed will still need to be made up. This day will also not be excused or waived for exemption. We take safety very seriously and would never intentionally put students in harms way. I appreciate your understanding. 

All sporting events this week are away. 

Don't forget that over the holiday, Southwest High School will host the Annual Sheetz Holiday Christmas Classic. Play begins on December 27th. So please go to the Southwest Athletic Twitter or Facebook to get all your game times and bracket information.  

I will not put out another message until the start of the new year. So if I do not see you at any of the games, I hope you have great holiday.

Remember, you are always able to access this message on our school website under School News and titled Principal's Weekly Updates or on Facebook and Twitter. Please follow Southwest High School at SouthwestGHS for both Twitter and Facebook. This is a great way for us to communicate and stay connected.

I hope you have a great week.

Good evening, this is Wayne Duggins, Principal of Southwest Guilford High School.

I have just a few quick items to share with you.

This is a very quiet week, but I want to encourage all parents to make sure that you have access to the Parent Portal for Grades and Attendance. The end of this semster is coming to a close and this is a great way for you to monitior your child's school progress. All teacher updates their grades weekly. 

Over the past few days, so of our students have gotten a little restless. A few have even become confrontational with one another. Parents, please encourage your child to come see an administrator or a teacher if they are having any issue with a fellow student. A lot of times a short conversation where we all get the chance to communicate we can solve most problems. Remember students, if you choose to handle things in a confrontational or aggressive way, you will be disciplined accordingly. I appreciate your help and understanding.
