Dear Cowboy Community, PHYSICALS August 14 and 21

The GHS office is once again open and we're getting ready for the new school year. Teachers report on next week and students begin Monday, August 24th. 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

GHS sports are under way, and student athletes interested in participating in a fall sport must have all paperwork completed, along with a current physical. Physicals are available on August 14th and 21st. Please note there is a mandatory family meeting Wednesday, August 12th in the GHS auditorium at 6pm. This meeting is for all student athletes and families participating in a CHSAA-sanctioned fall sport.

Save the date for Back-to-School Night on Thursday, August 20th. It will look a little different than previous years. GHS Volleyball opens their season with a home game against North Fork, with C Team at 4pm, JV at 5pm, and Varsity at 6pm. We will host school tours for 9th graders and new students from 4pm-5:30pm and will have a 5:30 welcome meeting for all 9th grade families and new to the district families in the GHS auditorium. Burgers will be available beginning at 5pm, and we hope you'll stick around to cheer on Cowboy Volleyball in our first home event of the season!

Our first day of school is Monday, August 24th. All 9th graders will report to the GHS Commons no later than 8:15am, where they will spend the morning with our LINK crew, the GHS Bullfighters, for team building, schedule tours, and working with advisors for the morning.Lunch will be served from 11:45am-12:25pm for all students. Then, all students will report to their advisory teachers' rooms at 12:30pm.
