March Update
from GCHS & Mrs. Shannon
Third Trimester is Here
Dear GCHS Families,
As we begin the final trimester of the school year, we're reminded of the importance of perseverance and grit. With schedules filling up, demands increasing, and the weather getting nicer, it's important to encourage our students to stay focused and continue to work hard. Attending school regularly is important, as every day counts towards their success. If any questions or concerns come up, we urge families to reach out to teachers. We still have a lot of meaningful work ahead, and with your support and partnership, we're confident our students will meet goals and finish the year strong. Attendance and hard work are not only crucial for school, but also for their future workplace endeavors. These habits cannot be developed too soon. Thank you for your ongoing support as we prepare our students for the next chapter of their lives.
Mrs. Shannon
