SWHS Principal's weekly updates for December 18th

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

We now have 9 full instructional days left before the first day of exams start. 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. 

Parents, we need your help, as we try to enforce safety procedures at SWHS, we ask that you work with us on the check out procedures. Also - when you enter our building, it is imperative you check in with either the front office or the attendance office. Do not walk straight into any classroom, cafeteria, etc without checking in with the school first. If you have others picking up your child, please notify us as well, and please share our expectations with them as well. Thank you for working with us on this. 

Freshman Focus parents, we are having a "be active" hoops/jump rope for heart day in our freshman focus classes.  On January 9^th, we are asking all Freshman Focus students to make a $2 dollar donation to participate in the event. All additional donations are certainly welcome and appreciated.

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 week so come on out and support the basketball program as well as the Hoops for Hunger program!

LET’S DUNK HUNGER TOGETHER!!
