We now have 27 full instructional days before we start exams. That is correct, only 27 days. This sends that message even more that attendance, academics and wise choices must be of an emphasis.
The registration window for transportation is now open. If your address has changed, you are new to the district, or you have enrolled in a new school, you’re encouraged to register as soon as possible to ensure your student has transportation on the first day of school. The deadline to register is May 31. The transportation department will host several in-person registration events at high schools across the district. You can find more information on those dates and other important transportation updates on our website at http://www.gcsnc.com/transportation.
Congratulations on our new Beta Club officers, Emma Bachman as Treasurer, Hannah Sutherby as Secretary, McKayla Ma as Vice President, and Eleanor Ilderton as President. The Beta Club Induction Ceremony will be tomorrow, Monday, April 22nd at 6PM in the Auditorium. Students in the ceremony should be dressed business casual, light refreshments will be provided after the ceremony.
We also have a couple of special opportunities at High Point Central coming up. 1st, the Prom is on Saturday, May 18th at 12 West Main in Thomasville. Any student who has one or more OSS or 2 or more ISS this semester will not be able to attend. Early graduates must receive permission from myself in order to attend the prom. The student simply needs to e-mail or call me and we can set up a quick conversation.
The 2nd big event is the Senior trip. Information can be found below. Again, any early grads must get additional permission to attend.
