Notes to Families of GCHS Students from Mrs. Shannon

Wrapping up Trimester One!

It's hard to believe one-third of the year is almost over. Please see the schedule below. You'll notice 2 key changes on the days of trimester testing. 1) Open Campus is ONLY for students who are PASSING classes. If your child is not passing a class they will report to that teacher during their regularly assigned period on either Thursday or Friday for remediation. 2) ALL students will report to class as usual during Thursday afternoon and Friday morning for testing, presentations, etc.
