WELCOME BACK, GCHS Families!
From Mrs. Shannon - Aug. 2024
Dear GCHS Families,
I'm so excited for 2024-25!
Monthly newsletters will continue this year as a means of communication. The first full newsletter will begin in September, but I wanted to share some brief information to help everyone have a great transition back to school.
Looking forward to a great year!
See you soon,
Mrs. Shannon

CELL PHONE POLICY

Daily Schedules! First Day is Friday, August 23
I have a question...who do I ask?
There are a few places you can get questions answered.
- COME TO OPEN HOUSE - there will be a lot of people on hand to answer questions.
- Your student's Advisory Teacher...they are your "go to" for questions. Think of them as a home room or base camp teacher.
- Any classroom teacher on their schedule
- The counseling department (Kyle Kinne, Mrs. Wenck, Emily Gannon)
- The office staff (Nurse - Deb, Secretary - Traci, Principal - Mrs. Shannon, AD - Mr. Wright, AD Secretary - Misty Bettey)
ATTENDANCE continues to be a TOP priority at GCHS!
Every Student, Every Day!
Did you know...? Why Daily Attendance Matters:
Missed Lessons = Falling Behind: Even one day can mean missing critical instructions and activities, making it harder for your child to catch up.
Impact on Future Success: Consistent attendance is a strong predictor of academic achievement and future opportunities.
Building Resilience: Regular attendance teaches your child the value of perseverance and responsibility—essential skills for success in life.
Stronger Friendships: Daily presence helps your child develop and sustain friendships, which are crucial for emotional and social development.
Healthy Routine: Attending school every day establishes a stable routine, promoting better mental and physical health.
Who to contact if your child doesn't want to come to school: Our counseling department Kyle Kinne ( kkinne@greenecountycsd.net Allison Wenck (wencka@greenecountycsd.net) Emily Gannon (gannone@greenecountycsd.net They can help!
