GHS WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL

NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL:

- Welcome to Fall! Parent/Teacher Conferences will be coming soon – mark your calendars for October 18 (4-7) pm and October 19 1-4 pm and 5-7 pm)

-  Parents and Guardians, in an effort to continue our focus on safety, we will resume our security scans and backpack/locker searches.  When these occur, an email/phone blast will be sent as notification.

-  As we strive to maintain an academic environment, we encourage students to dress and speak appropriately.  The past few years, students have improved dramatically in these areas.  Unfortunately, when students are unable to follow the guidelines, they do receive consequences.  We are unable to allow students to remain in their regular class if they are not in compliance with the dress code.  Again, great strides have been made - We appreciate your support!
