Dear Cowboy Community,

With our first day of school right around the corner, I want to remind all of you about the new Gunnison Watershed School District Cell Phone policy. Students may not use cell phones at school during the day from 8:20am until dismissal at 3:40pm. Students may use the office phone to contact parents during the day and families can call the office at 970-641-7700. We will then relay important messages to students. Please see the "Cell Phone Policy" section of this newsletter for the full GWSD Policy.

Student schedules will be available in PowerSchool on August 17th and students may make schedule change requests using this link, or meet with counselors on Tuesday, August 18th. Reasons to make a schedule change requests include:

• An incomplete schedule (less than 7 classes)
• Incorrect class levels
• You are scheduled for a class already taken at GHS
• Missing a class needed for graduation

Please see below for Back to School Night and First Day Schedules.

Congrats to GHS Golfers, who have already competed in five events. Softball begins their season today with two tournament games in Rifle, while Soccer scrimmages in Montrose tomorrow. You can catch GHS Football in a scrimmage Cedaredge at Cowboy Memorial Field at 9:30am Saturday. GO COWBOYS!

While inside the school building or outside on campus in class, during the entire instructional day (“bell to bell”), students in grades 9 - 12 must keep their personal devices silenced and out of sight (“No See, No Hear”) in a locker, backpack, car, or similar storage container. Students must not store devices in clothing, pockets, or otherwise on their person.

Students must use their GWSD-issued device (Chromebook or other device) to do schoolwork while at school.

There are phones in school offices available for students to make phone calls during school hours. Students may be given permission to use a personal device to communicate while supervised in their school’s office.

Students will store their personal earbuds/headphones in their backpacks; earbuds may not be worn and muted during class. Students will refrain from using smartwatches for non-academic purposes.
