Swansboro High School
Weekly Updates, August 1, 2021
Welcome Back!
We are back and ready to open the 2021/2022 school year! Please read this newsletter in it's entirety to learn important information about fall sports try-outs, picking up schedules, purchasing parking passes, and updated dress code policies.
We look forward to seeing our new-to-Swansboro students in grades 10-12 at new student orientation on Thursday, August 12 from 1-2 pm. We will welcome freshmen for orientation also on Thursday, August 12 from 4:30-7:30 pm.
Open house for all students will be held on Thursday, August 19, 2021 from 12-1 pm or from 4-6 pm. Be sure to come out to tour the school, meet your teachers and pay school fees.
Fall sports try-outs start this week. Our football team is looking for athletes and hoping to have enough players to have a JV and varsity team. Any player coming for the first time on Monday will need to arrive at 4:15 pm to be issued equipment. Century club tickets are also available in our front office. This is the best way to save big while supporting Pirate athletics. The Swansboro High School Century Club will host a free tailgating barbeque on Friday, August 20, 2021 at 5:30 pm before our first home game against East Carteret High School. Free burgers, hot dogs, chips and drinks and open to the Swansboro community.
Students can begin picking up schedules this week as well. We will issue schedules to seniors on Monday, juniors on Tuesday, sophomores on Wednesday and freshmen on Thursday, August 12 at orientation.
21/22 Policy Update - Dress Code
Shorts must reach mid thigh to be acceptable. Skirts and dresses must still be within 1 inch of
the top of the knee, when in the standing position, in order to be considered acceptable. The use of see-through hosiery or see-through leggings does not make the length acceptable. The outer garment must still meet the dress code of mid thigh.
Jeans and other outer garments with holes above the mid thigh are not acceptable. Holes in jeans must adhere to the mid thigh rule without exposed skin.

Scheduling Conflict Form
Both students and parents played a vital role in the selection of this year’s courses and alternatives using PowerSchool. Schedule changes can only be made if the following circumstances exists:
- missing a class for graduation or
- enrolled in a class for which you have already received credit or
- enrolled in a class for which you will have not met the prerequisite requirements.
Due to enrollment limitations, course request conflicts and limitations, there will be no schedule changes this year. Schedule corrections will be collected through a form on the student services website. Email requests for schedule changes will not be accepted.
