A Message From The Administration:
Greetings Patriots!
Thanksgiving is this coming Thursday (11/26). Our Thanksgiving break will run from Wednesday (11/25) through Sunday (11/29). We will have 100% remote learning for ALL GNGHS students on Monday (11/23) and Tuesday (11/24). Monday will be a red day (with online core classes for grades 9 and 12 while grades 10 and 11 are doing their online elective classes). Tuesday will be a blue day (with online core classes for grades 10 and 11 while grades 9 and 12 do their online elective classes). PATHS students are expected to do PATHS remotely on both days. We hope to have our hybrid schedule back up and running beginning Monday (11/30). Stay tuned!

Tell us what it is like and send us photos of what your school day looks like. Are you in-person? What does being in school look like for you? Tell us about a typical day and create a photo storyboard. Are you a Senior? Tell us about your experience this year – what has changed? Are you a Freshman? Tell us what it is like starting high school in our current situation. Are you a member of a sports team? Tell us how your season has been impacted. Each submission should be no more than 400 words, and your submission should include a picture of you and any other photos you feel would tell your story. All submissions should be sent to slandry@sad15.org no later than December 10, 2020. Tell us YOUR story!

There’s an app for that! Did you know that the library card catalog has an application for phones and iPads, etc?

With the app, you can search for library books, see what’s been recently added to the library collection and view your library account.

Reminder: The Superintendent sent out an update to all parents on November 9th. This update explained the process we will be using in the event that parents want to change their student’s status as far as being in-person and/or going 100% remote for their academic plan for the 2nd semester. The window to let us know your preference/option for your student(s) will be from 11/09 – 11/30. This will give the district a month to make all the necessary changes and/or adjustments to our class assignments (both remote and in-person) as well as to the transportation schedules. Our goal is to inform those families who requested a change by 01/04/21. These changes will go into effect on 01/19/21, which is the first day of the second semester.
That concludes this week’s edition of the Patriot Express! We wish you all a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving break. Take care and stay well.
Mr. Finn, Principal
Ms. Grealish, Assistant Principal
