Show your SKG pride by donning your Spirit Wear on Tuesday, October 24th, as we cheer on our Softball team heading to the Elite Eight State Championship series!

This week, we will modify our bell schedule to make room for several important activities, including the PSAT, intervention sessions, a Senior meeting, and the Senior panoramic photo.

All Students - Action Required

If your class is usually on the 4th floor, please keep in mind that it will be temporarily relocated due to PSAT testing taking place on that floor. To find your new classroom location, consult the attached document below for your teacher's name and the corresponding room assignment.

All 10th, and registered 9th and 11th grade students will take the PSAT on October 25th from 7:10 - 11:30 AM. Students need to arrive on time and there will be no check-outs during this time. Bring a non-mechanical pencil and a scientific or graphing calculator if you have one.

The PSAT is an excellent primer for the SAT, and even the ACT, but it's more than just a trial run. PSAT scores are used to identify National Merit Scholars and award merit scholarships.

If you're planning to take the PSAT, please make sure to check the PSAT Bell Schedule provided below.

Are you aware that your PSAT testing location details are available on eCLASS? To find this information, go to the Seckinger High School eCLASS homepage. If you're registered for the PSAT/NMSQT, you'll find essential details such as the test date, exam type, time, and venue. If you're not registered for the test, a message will be displayed instead. For more specifics, please take a look at the attachment below.

Our PTSA is selling Boo Grams for SKG students, faculty, & staff! Be sure to purchase yours today by clicking here. Boo Grams will also be available for students to purchase the week of October 23rd - 27th at lunch in the commons.

Seckinger High School will be administering the GA Student Health Survey on Thursday, November 9, during Social Studies classes. If you would like to have your child opt out, please follow these directions and email it directly to Randi.Hill@gcpsk12.org no later than November 3.

Be sure to check out this week's edition of GCPS' Connected! Connected is a show that keeps families and students plugged in and connected to everything that's happening in Gwinnett County Public Schools. You should receive a weekly edition directly from GCPS via email. This week, one of our SKG students, Kayla Benefield, served as the student correspondent. See minute 02:10 in the video to watch Kayla's segment.

At Seckinger, we have vestibules located at the front and back entry of our building. Our vestibules are double glass door entries with bullet-resistant glass film.

1. When arriving at the school, ring the doorbell and state your reason for being here.
2. You will then be buzzed through the first set of doors and into the vestibule.
3. All visitors not employed by GCPS will need to then proceed with the Raptor - a program that screens visitors against the National Sex Offenders Registry.
4. Visitors are required to insert their driver's license/state identification into the card reader located on a table inside the vestibule.
5. Once our staff receives your clearance from Raptor, you will then be buzzed into the second set of doors where you will be able to receive either your visitor's badge or check-out your student (attendance office - back of the building).

Friday, November 3, is the second of four DLDs this school year. Students will log in to eCLASS from home for online assignments. Visit the GCPS DLD webpage.
