As temperatures drop and winter approaches, we would like to remind everyone of our dress code policy. To ensure the safety and security of all individuals within the building, no hats, hoods, or headwear are allowed. This helps us to identify each person in the building if necessary. Additionally, blankets or pillows cannot be used during school hours. We ask that you wear an extra layer of clothing or bring a jacket for chilly mornings or classrooms. Remember, hats, hoods, headwear, blankets, and pillows are not allowed inside the building. Thank you for your cooperation.

Urgent Messages can be delivered to the Attendance Office.

The school does not accept flowers, balloons and other non-school items for delivery to students. No outside food is allowed except packed lunches from home. That means... NO DELIVERIES OF FOOD ANYWHERE ON CAMPUS FROM PARENTS OR DELIVERY SERVICES.

Bus stops are determined by the address that is on file with the school. You will only be able to ride the bus that is assigned to you at your address unless you have applied for a buss pass.

For transportation questions, please see the GCPS Transportation page.

The MAP Growth Assessment in Math and Reading is a diagnostic/universal screener administered universally in January to any 9th and 10th grade student with performance below the 25th percentile on the previous Fall administration. The purpose of a Universal Screener is to identify students who are at risk for poor learning outcomes or those who can benefit from acceleration/enrichment.

MAP Growth Testing Schedule:

• Math: Monday, January 8th and Tuesday, January 9th
• Language Arts: Thursday, January 11th & Friday, January 12th

The MAP Growth Assessment will be given online. Student must bring their Chromebook (charged) and a charger.

Please be sure to attend school for these testing days.

Thank you,

Panther Assessment Office

• 1st Semester Report Cards/Transcripts 1st semester report cards/transcripts will be accessible to students and parents in StudentVue and ParentVue on January 10th. 1st semester report cards/transcripts will be printed and mailed from the GCPS district office to the student’s address in the student information system beginning January 10th.
• 2nd Semester Schedules Students are able to view their 2nd semester schedule through the student portal or the StudentVue app on January 3rd. However, please understand that schedule changes are being made up until the first day of 2nd semester, January 4th, due to course failures and class leveling.

Some student schedules may shift due to the balancing of class sizes as well as faculty/staff changes. We guarantee students will have a total of six classes and an advisement, but we cannot guarantee that that the classes will be in the same period order or with the same teacher as first semester or that students will have the same lunch period.

Schedule Changes:

The only changes being made to second semester schedules are for those students who have failed a class and cannot move to the 2nd semester course or for seniors who need a class to meet graduation requirements. Most of these changes have already been made.

Schedule changes will NOT be made for the following reasons:

· Teacher or class period preference

· The student doesn’t like the elective and wants a different elective

· Level changes (AP to Honors, Honors to CP) because current level is impacting GPA

· GPA concerns

· The class is not needed for graduation

Students were advised during the registration process last Spring to choose wisely as their choices were yearlong choices and changes would not be made between semesters.

Please remember YOU are responsible for your attendance.

Please Follow These Check Out Procedures...

In the attendance office we want to make the process of checking your student out as seamless as possible. We can do this by following these simple steps:

• Prior to 7:15 am, the student should provide the Attendance Office with a note from the parent or guardian stating the date, parent contact number, the time requested for the check-out, and the reason.
• The student's absence due to checking out will only be excused if it meets one of the approved reasons(please see the GCPS Handbook).
• The student is then provided with a check-out pass to be shown to the classroom teacher at the time of the check-out. This pass should be brought to the Attendance Office to complete the checkout process.
• If the parent cannot be contacted, the student may not be allowed to check out. A parent or guardian must be contacted to grant permission before a student is allowed to leave campus. Students will only be dismissed to the parent or guardian or the emergency contact listed in the Parent Portal. Students who leave campus without following the check-out procedures will be considered AWOL from school and disciplined accordingly.
• Or a parent must come in and show ID to check-out student.
• For security reasons, we do not permit call-in or email parent check-outs. If a student is sick or has an emergency, the school clinic or attendance office will contact a parent/guardian or emergency contact. Students will only be released to parents/guardians, or emergency contacts that are listed on their account.
