Good evening, this is Mike Hettenbach, Principal of Southwest Guilford High School.
As we proceed into the summer, please know we will be mailing all underclass report cards on June 21st. You will receive your child's report card shortly thereafter that mailing date.
Please be aware, as it has been currently communicated, PowerSchool/Parent Assist will be down from June 27th through the 10th day of school. While I understand there is a possibility this can change, please know we will communicate student schedule pick up at a later time as we approach the start of the school year.
As it relates to student schedules, the only communication that should be occurring to counselors about schedule changes should be a request for one of the new classes being added to the fall. Please reach out to your child's guidance counselor if both you and your child agree on requesting any of these newly added electives: Beginning Band, Dance, Advanced Dance, Advanced Physical Fitness with a concentration on Yoga, Zumba, steps, spin, and more! Honors African American Studies, Digital Media and Advanced Digital Media! We are very excited about diversifying the elective options for your child. Again, please reach out to your child's guidance counselor immediately with any interest.
Go ahead and mark your calendar for the 1st semester, September 11th, from 6:00 pm to 7:30pm, SWHS's PTA Walk the Schedule Night or as some of you may see it as Open House.
Last, if you are friends with any parents or guardians of rising freshmen, Thursday August 24th is the Freshman Orientation. All Freshmen are expected to be present from 8:30-12:30 that morning while all parents will be attending that evening from 6:30 to 8:00.
As it relates to athletics, Fall practices and try outs officially start on July 31st. Please reach out to the individual coaches of our athletic director for more information. Also - feel free to navigate through our athletics webpage.
As usual, we thank you for your ongoing support! Enjoy your summer. Please know I will send weekly messages only as I feel it is appropriate.
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 summer!
We are... Southwest!
