Good evening Southwest!
I hope this message finds everyone doing well!
Underclassman picture day is Friday, December 4, in the freshman gym. Students will be photographed following a specific schedule to prevent students from gathering in large crowds. Schedule forthcoming. Health and safety protocols will be in place and must be followed or else those who can not follow these expectations will be required to leave the campus.
Seniors who have not taken their senior photo can do so on December 1, 2, or 3. Senior photos will be taken at the Lifetouch studio at 1210-C Bridford Parkway (the old Pier 1 building next to the Target). Seniors will sign up for an appointment time. Sign up sheet forthcoming. Due to Covid, seniors will only be able to take formal poses (tuxedo/drape pictures). No environmental/outdoor photos possible this year.
The Guilford Apprenticeship
Partners have been holding student information sessions. All meetings are held via Zoom this year. Information sessions began last week and continue through Tuesday, November 17th. Information Sessions include a short 9 minute new GAP recruitment video as well as a Question and
Answer by GAP business partners. GAP is a four year apprenticeship
program open to all juniors and seniors who meet the GAP requirements of good
attendance and a minimum GPA of 2.5-2.8. All information session dates and
times can be found on the Southwest High School Facebook page and the Guilford
Apprenticeship Partners website under Events. The GAP website is
gapnc.org. Please contact Mrs. Cook at cookm@gcsnc.com
with questions.
This video has been used district wide to provide information regarding pairing student and parent accounts in Canvas so parents can access what is due, what has been submitted, graded, etc. You’ll see in the video that one of the key pieces is a pairing code that can only originate from the student account holder.
November 20th - "Cover the City" - collecting slightly or new blankets for the Homeless and Urban Ministry. A representative will come to collect the blankets this day.
December 18th - "Rylie's Blessings" - collecting new or slightly used toys to be donated to Wake Forest's Pediatric Unit playroom.
If you are looking for any basic needs: food, school supplies, housing, mental health resources or if you have any other need to assist your students, please contacts our School Social Worker, Emily Wright. She can be reached at 336-709-9537 or via e-mail at Wrighte2@gcsnc.com .
