Southwest Guilford High School's Principal's Message for the week of May 22, 2017

Good evening, this is Mike Hettenbach, Principal of Southwest Guilford High School.

I have a very quick message for you.

First and foremost, I want to express my thanks to everyone who participated in Teacher Appreciation week here at SW Guilford High School, whether you brought in food items, sent notes, e-mails, gifts in to teachers, volunteered hours to cook, deliver items to teacher mailboxes, you are truly amazing and your time and generosity is much appreciated. Thank you. You are another reason why SWHS continues to be highly sought after as the school to attend. If you are looking to be involved next year, please let me know and I will connect you to the proper individuals.

Any student who ordered class rings can pick them up during their lunch right outside the cafeteria on Monday. Please look for the Herff Jones table.

Please come out Tuesday and Thursday night to support the Chorus on Tuesday and the Orchestra on Thursday. Both will be in the auditorium with a 7pm start time. 

Friday, Seniors will be involved in a graduation walk at Florence and at SWES. Students should bring their cap and gown to school as they will walk the halls of these elementary schools! Following the graduation walks, the seniors will enjoy the senior picnic. It is not too late to send in any donations to make this event as spectacular as possible.  You can have your child drop a check made out to SWHS PTSA or cash to the main office. Anyone that has had children experience the senior picnic will know what an undertaking this is and how vital the donations are to making it a success. Thank you for any assistance with this.

As we have less than 10 days to exams, how aware are you of your child's grades and attendance. Do you feel quite confident you will not be blindsided with a poor grade, or absences that need to be made up? Hopefully you are all on Parent Assist. If not, please call the school and speak to Kristy Cline, our data manager to make sure you have access.
