I hope this message finds everyone rested up from this past break and ready to bring it on as we approach the December holidays. Please remember that immediately following the December holidays, we move into a one week review and then final exams.
The SWGHS Band Boosters have opened a Dewey's Bakery Holiday Shop as the band's main fundraiser this year. They were generously donated a great location in The Palladium Commons (located in between McAlister's Deli and Moe's Southwest Grill). They will be selling Dewey's baked goods out of this location from now until December 24th. The shop is volunteer-staffed by band families, and will have students entertain customers with solo and ensemble performances in the shop during the next five Saturdays. Go out, buy some baked goods, and support the SWGHS band!
Within this communication are the upcoming GAP Company Open House Schedule for the 2019-2020 Year.
All GCS Parents can gain
access to the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Parents will need their student’s
access ID and access password. These can be obtained by contacting the
school Data Manager, who can send it home or by following these steps.
From the GCS Home page,
select Academics > PowerSchool Parent Portal. From the PowerSchool Parent
Portal screen click on the pa.gcsnc.com link under New Users.
Parents will be prompted to complete a few fields and the access ID and
password will be securely emailed to them with next steps. There are also
guides to assist with the process on the site.
If SWGHS parents have any issues,
they can contact Kristy Cline, our school data manager for assistance.
ACT WorkKeys Test dates are this week…..letters have gone out for those seniors who are CTE Concentrators. The seniors identified will take the ACT WorkKeys either this Monday, December 2nd or Tuesday December 3rd in the Coggins Gym starting at 8:05 both days. The student’s letter states which day they will be required to come test.
Students must attend at least one of these with a parent or guardian, but they are encouraged to attend as many as they can. Each company will present information about their company as well as what positions they are recruiting for this year's GAP cohort. In addition most companies will give tours of their facilities.
Use the Sign up genie within this blog to sign up since they ask that students and parents register on the sign-up genie but if you decide to go last minute, that is fine too.
This is a wonderful opportunity to see all that this program has to offer!
