GRCHS Morning Announcements Wednesday Sept. 16
School Business
Details from the Dean
Here are a few important reminders for virtual learning on Wednesdays. Be sure to arrive on time to each of your classes, turn your screen on for your entire virtual class period. Attendance will be taken during each virtual learning class. You should also only have 1 student present in each screen, and make sure there aren't any background distractions during class. These are important guidelines to follow to make sure we can all make the most of virtual Wednesdays. We also want to be clear that academic integrity for both in-person and virtual assessments are very important. We expect all of our students to agree to honesty and integrity on all of their assessments. Thanks for carefully following these important guidelines. Have a great day!

We know that homecoming week is quickly approaching, and there are many questions about what homecoming will look like this year.

Here is a list of some of the fun activities we have planned! We will share more details soon.

- Daily Focus Time Homecoming Activities
- Senior Homecoming Court

- Grade level competitions throughout the week at school
Seniors
Please pick up a form in the office to nominate your fellow classmates to the 2020 homecoming court. Only Seniors may make nominations of other senior students. Completed forms are due on Thursday, September 17.
Mix-It-Up-Lunch!
Student Council and Global Ambassadors are leading a new lunch opportunity this week for all students. As representatives of the student body, we want to make sure our school feels like home for all students, so let's get to know each other and make sure we welcome new students. Please read these important details.
Everything will take place tomorrow. Thursday will still be a chapel day so you will still have your normal Lunch A or B. The only difference is that all students will each lunch on the North Lawn (grassy area between Plymouth to Shawnee church). Click the link below to see what group you are assigned to. After you get your lunch, make sure to head out to the North Lawn right away to find your group.
Don't forget to social distance, clean up your space, and meet someone new! We will see you all there this Thursday!
