Tonight, from 7 to 9p.m., the Theater students will host a Haunted Tour. Students are pulling all the stops to make this your scariest visit to GHS.

Tickets will be sold at the door for $3. The event is not recommended for small children. Strobe lights will be in use.

The H1N1 vaccination clinics scheduled at GCPS schools for the upcoming week have been cancelled due to insufficient availability of the vaccine.

The clinic for preschool age children scheduled for Monday, October 26 will be held at the Specialty Center, starting at 9:00a.m. All other clinics will be rescheduled when the vaccine becomes available.

Please read the full text of the letter (PDF) for additional information. 

The first marking period ends this week, and on Monday students will be released early. Teachers will be hard at work during the afternoon to finalize grades and set goals for the next marking period.  Report cards will be sent home on Wednesday.

Please take time to review grades and comments, and contact teachers with any questions. Parents will have the opportunity to discuss student progress in depth at the upcoming parent-teacher conferences on November 12. We hope to see you then.

All GHS students will bring home a letter and a permission form on Wednesday, October 14, regarding upcoming flu vaccination clinics.

The Chickahominy Health District, in partnership with GCPS, will provide H1N1 vaccinations free of charge. In order to participate, students must return the completed form to school.
