Dear Cowboy Community,

It's been a wonderful first week back to school at GHS. I'd like to thank our staff and students for their efforts in ensuring a strong start to our academic year. Thanks, too, to Mrs. Denai Robbins (Class of '75) for welcoming our students at our first assembly of the year, and to our Student Council Representatives, Reese Japuntich and Althea Stansbery, for leading the first Pep Assembly of the year. Our Link Crew was amazing in welcoming 9th graders to campus, while our G Club Members joined the back to school welcoming party at GCS!

Student athletes are off to a great start. I want to give a huge shout-out to our GHS Volleyball team. Not only did they travel to Rye and win at all three levels on Wednesday evening, every single student athlete who traveled was on time and present in every class on Thursday. The demands of the CHSAA schedules for our student athletes can seem daunting, and these young ladies showed tremendous grit and put "student" first. Well done!

Speaking of athletics, we have our Softball home opener this afternoon at Jorgensen Park. First pitch against Rocky Ford is at 4pm today, with Softball home again Saturday at noon against Montrose. Football has a 7pm kickoff at Cowboy Memorial this evening against Grand Valley. Mountain Biking begins their season with a race in Leadville Saturday, while Cross Country heads to Pueblo, Soccer travels to Canon City, and Volleyball faces Roaring Fork in Carbondale. Catch both Soccer (Varsity 4pm/JV 6pm) and Volleyball (C 4pm/JV 5pm/Varsity 6pm) at home on Tuesday. Golf will head to Rifle Monday and Grand Junction Wednesday. Good luck to our student athletes and 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.
