The Official Newsletter of South Garland High School
Principal's Corner
It’s hard to believe but we are in the 6th week of school! We have made great strides in providing consistent structure, high quality instruction, and building positive relationships with students and parents. The goal of an effective school putting these various systems in place is that our students are performing academically above their peers. Whether our students are being taught face to face or remotely, we must maintain high bar of academic excellence together. Parents and students, I found an interesting article in which this could be maintained for remote learners. According to teachthought.com, they published an article titled “12 Parent Tips To Promote Remote Learning At Home” to help equip parents with tools in supporting their child at home. I made the read just a little easier by reformatting the material in the following link: https://bit.ly/35DlUml
As we all know, this current educational journey we travel started out and continues as pastures of very tall grass. Often times when the future looks to become bleak or hopeless I want you to turn around and look at the trail that you created. You’d be amazed of what, where, and how we have evolved since our return. South Families, please keep your eyes on the prize and remember that the academic and extracurricular success of our students is a shared responsibility amongst all of us!
Lastly, I will be extremely remiss if I failed to acknowledge all of the teachers and staff that continue to participate in keeping our campus SAFE from the start to the end of each day. Whether they’re greeting our students and staff at arrival, securing the hallway, cleaning their classrooms between each transition, keeping our kids safe at lunch, cleaning the building continuously throughout the day, maintaining social distancing as best possible, or keeping dismissal staggered and proper- please help me in showing your appreciation by sending a few words of praise and encouragement to these AMAZING WOMEN AND MEN of SGHS. The work is challenging but extremely rewarding. We also continue to thank you for entrusting us with your children. As stated in the last newsletter, we know that you have concerns but please know that our commitment is always going to be providing safety, health, and academic/extracurricular prosperity. We welcome any feedback you may have. Please use the form below to record your feedback.
Have a great week!!
