From our Athletic Trainer, Liam Buckley.. Posture, when working remote, is so important! Little adjustments will make you feel better when sitting and working on your computer.
We continue to update our "how to" links to assist everyone during remote learning. Feel free to access this document ... Remote Learning helpful links.docx
If a student says they can not do their work, I have guided teachers to use a flowchart that will allow every student to get their work during this time until all devices arrive... Feel free to review this flowchart.

Official GCS release is below:
Guilford County Schools to Begin Limited Athletic
Workouts
On
Thursday, Guilford County Schools (GCS) announced voluntary workouts for
athletics can begin on Monday, Sept. 28, for select sports.
This
announcement aligns with the district’s proposed plan to gradually bring students
back beginning the week of Sept. 28. Propelled by encouraging local health
data, GCS decided to move forward with starting athletic workouts. GCS will
continue to monitor local COVID-19 data and adjust or stop activities as
needed.
In
addition, new guidance was issued Sept. 8 by the North Carolina High School
Athletic Association (NCHSAA) to move to phase II guidelines. On Sept. 14, the North
Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) followed up with additional guidance regarding youth and amateur sports.
“We
are pleased that we can begin phasing back in our athletics program,” said
Leigh Hebbard, GCS director of athletics. “We know how important these
activities are for our students and their well-being.”
During
the conditioning period, voluntary workouts will follow GCS’ health and safety protocols and procedures
for conditioning activities with an emphasis on screening, avoiding physical
contact and social distancing. Face coverings must be worn except during rigorous
physical exercise. Once the skill development period begins, GCS will follow
NCHSAA guidance.
Based
on the GCS High School Athletics calendar (included below) volleyball and cross
country will be the first sports allowed to take part in voluntary workouts
beginning on Sept. 28. Following volleyball and cross country, other sports
will follow suit in the coming weeks.
