Arrival Tidbits: Tap Station, Scanners and Breakfast
- All students may begin entering the building at 8 am and in Homerooms seated by 8:20.
- ID cards will be given out this week Tuesday/Wednesday in a sleeve without a lanyard
- Students may add a lanyard or clip if they choose but students are responsible for keeping up with their one cards.
- SGMS clips will be available for purchase with DOJO points at the School DOJO store if students are interested
- REMINDER: ALL students must have their one card for events, cafeteria, media center, arrival scanning, etc.
- Tentatively beginning on Thursday students will tap with their one card for entry outside front entrance prior to scanning.
- If your student does not have an id card yet we will take names and submit to GCS and cards will be sent. GCS will print cards through October. After October, it will be school printed and students will need to pay $5 for a lost card.
- Reminder: Students should be in class by the 8:20 bell. After the 8:20 bell students arriving late will be sent to sign in the front office. Students should bring their HR teacher a tardy pass if entering after 8:20 am. Late buses will be announced without signing in students.
- Scan Station: This has gone really well and we anticipate continued success. Please help us out by reminding students that 3 ring binders, umbrellas, and glass cases should be removed from the book bag prior to entering the front doors. These items are passed off to the staff member standing to the right or left at entrance of scanners and will be returned to the student at the doors leading into the hallway. Please remind students that if monitoring staff ask them to step to the check table at each lane they should stop, be checked and go back through the scanners and receive an all clear before continuing to Homeroom
- Reminder: Breakfast is available free of charge to all students and can be picked up prior to entering Homeroom. Breakfast is offered to late arrivals in the office at sign in.
- Attendance MATTERS!! If your child is not sick they should be in school each day and for the duration of the day. 8:20-3:20 to maximize teaching and learning. Let's soar to great heights and improve attendance.
Bookbags
- Book bags will travel with the student to Homeroom, and Core classes only
- Students will carry only items needed to encore such as Notebook, pencil, laptop (when issued if needed) and bookbags will remain in core classes
