Seniors, this is a reminder that you must be aware of the graduation calendar that is posted on the web and has been distributed to you multiple times already.

Mandatory graduation practice is tomorrow as well, Monday, at 4PM. Seniors must be in the foyer of the auditorium by 3:30. The practice will last until at least 6PM. Tuesday is another mandatory graduation practice from 4-6 at the Greensboro Coliseum. seniors must be in the foyer of the coliseum by 3:15 on Tuesday.

If you know of any students in the area who are looking to complete Boy Scout or Girl Scout projects and would like to complete them on the campus of Southwest, please have them touch base with either Mr. Hettenbach or Coach Christman.

SWHS Principal's weekly updates for June 4

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

We are now heading into exam week.

Monday and Tuesday are teacher made exams. These are regular days and students are required to attend the entire day. We do not want anyone to have their exemption card revoked or find themselves having to make up any time due to any last minute poor choices in attending school so please assist us in making sure your child attends Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday is the start of state exams. Wednesday is block 1 exam and the day ends at 1:05. Thursday is block 2, Friday is block 3, and the following Monday is block 4. All of these four state exam days end at 1:05. If your child has already taken an exam for this particular block, they are not expected to attend school that day. We will run buses at 3:35 as well for any students who have made arrangements with any of our teachers for tutoring or make up time. That should be discussed with the teacher prior to that day.

Good luck on finishing the semester strong!

Seniors, a reminder that you must be aware of the graduation calendar that is posted on the web and has been distributed to you multiple times already. Attending graduation practice is a must. Most universities and colleges, as well as employers, are extremely flexible if you are communicating ahead of time.
