SWHS Principal's weekly updates for December 11th

Good evening, this is Mike Hettenbach, Principal of Southwest Guilford High School with your weekly updates and reminders...


We now have less than 4 weeks before we start testing. Please make sure your child's grades are kept up, excessive attendance issues are corrected, time made up, and positive choices maintained.  If you need assistance with grade monitoring through the parent assistance program, please contact Kristy Cline through e-mail at clinek2@gcsnc.com. 


The yearbook is currently having a sale that will go through December 15th on the yearbook and senior ads. A full page senior ad is $330, a half a page is $185, and a quarter is $90. This will be the last time senior ads are available for purchase this school year. Also, the senior picture replacement fee is $15 if you plan on using a non-Lifetouch photo as your senior picture. Senior pictures must be submitted by December 20th

Next Friday, December 15th is PTSA spirit day at Chic Fil A. Go get some breakfast lunch or dinner and make sure you tell them you are from Southwest High School so that a portion of the money spent goes right back to the school. If your child is a driver to the school and they normally stop by, have them tell them they are from SWHS! This partnership with Chic Fil A will happen every 2nd Friday of the month!  


The men’s and women’s varsity basketball teams are sponsoring Hoops for Hunger for the remainder of the basketball season.  We ask that you bring non-perishable food items to the remaining home basketball games.  Green bins will be available in the gym lobby for
you to deposit your donations. All of the items donated will go to support families in need within the Southwest Schools. Hunger is not just an issue around the holidays.  Hunger is an issue every day of the year. These donations are not in lieu of the regular price of admission. We have home basketball games this Friday against Ragsdale so come on out and support the basketball program as well as the Hoops for Hunger program!


LET’S DUNK HUNGER TOGETHER!!
