GHS Weekly Announcements & Notes from the Principal

 

NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL:

Hello, Parents!

- We will be passing out the free Sprint Wifi devices again on Tuesday.  If parents marked they were interested during Centralized Enrollment, we will call the student down and give them the device.  We will still have a few available if anyone else is interested.

- Laptops will be distributed on Wednesday of this week.

- Grades for Bulldog Block (aka power hour) will be recorded by the end of the week.  Students in grades 9 with all Cs or higher and students in grades 10-12 with all passing grades will receive a Bulldog Pass valid for two weeks.  Those who do not receive a pass will be expected to meet with teachers to do work and tutor during this time for the two-week period.   New passes will be given out every two weeks.  If you have questions, please let us know.
