Southwest
community, in case you missed the GCS Board of Education meeting last evening, Students in GCS
will begin the 2020-21 academic year with at least nine weeks of remote
learning.
The
district is still considering how students will return to the classroom after
the nine weeks, which would happen on Oct. 20 if public health data and trends
indicate it is safe to do so.
Please
check out the district's new webpage on the reopening of schools, which
includes Frequently Asked Questions, a link to the Board presentation, more
information on the virtual schools and much more:

A
direct link to the FAQs will be embedded in this message:

Additionally,
as I have mentioned in the past, schedules are being worked on as quick as
possible during the summer, and most schedules have the strong possibility of
being changed due to enrollment fluctuations therefore causing the overall
matrix to need adjustments. Thank you for having patience with this process.
Final schedules will be provided to students when we start the school year. A
schedule change time frame for any valid requests will be communicated at the
beginning of the year.
Juniors
and seniors, I highly encourage you to take advantage of Career College
Promise. You must have a 2.8 or higher unweighted GPA for this program. You can
enroll in more than one class. These classes will provide you with college
credit that can be applied towards NC state universities and colleges. Many
public out of state also accept these credits. This is a great way to get ahead
with your future college credits while also saving money. Please contact your student’s counselor
immediately for questions and details as the deadline is August 6th.
As
a gentle reminder, please make sure you connect to any of the GCS and Southwest
Guilford High School social media accounts to stay in the know. While I will be
placing this information on our social media accounts, I will also place this
under the Principal's Weekly Messages tab on the school's website.

I
hope everyone is staying well. I miss each and everyone of you and I can't wait
until the day I will get to safely meet all of our new students while also
reconnecting with those returning.
Have
a great evening and remember, we are...Southwest!
