Week of Oct 27 to Oct 31st (Final Week of First Quarter)

First off, I want to commend all our students, staff, coaches, parents and everyone associated with GHS.  Last week was a challenge to say the least and, while it was tough and the loss of a fellow student will linger for a long time, the GHS family did itself proud.

Now, on to the FINAL WEEK of the first quarter.  Hard to believe.  If any of you have any make up work, you MUST get it taken care of by Friday at 2:15 PM or grades of zero will be entered.  Incompletes will only be offered in extreme circumstances after a given student has discussed his/her situation with Mr. Caterina.

As always, assignments, due dates and general plans are subject to changes and/or adjustment.

Let's have a great week.

BTW:  don't forget that "All Hallow's Eve" falls on Friday.   BOOOOOO!!!!
