STUDENT DROP-OFF MATERIALS INFORMATION
Important Information for GHS 10th, 11th & 12th Graders 
August 26, 2020, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm

This message is for our Class of 2021, Class of 2022, and Class of 2023 who missed our August 19, 2020, drop-off date. Before we can issue Chromebooks, calculators, instruments, and textbooks for this coming school year, we need to collect all items students are holding from 2019-2020. 

GHS Class of 2024 (current freshman) and redistricted students will drop off their items at their Middle School or their previous school. Incoming 9th graders and redistricted students please check your previous schools’ websites for dates/times for material collections.  

It is important to read this communication entirely, so you understand how you can help with this process.  Below is our drop-off schedule and detailed procedures. We look forward to seeing our remaing 10th, 11th, and 12th-grade students who missed our first drop-off (August 19) on August 26, 2020, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.  Note: Friends and family can return materials for you if you are unable to attend.

During the drop-off process, it is critical that students and families maintain all social distancing practices, wear masks and must remain in your cars.   

Students who are in possession of school-issued materials such as: 

• Marching Band Uniforms, this includes all GHSMU band and guard uniforms, garment bags, and accessories. 
• Athletic Uniforms
• Textbooks 
• Media Books
• Calculators (if you do not need for this year) 
• Or other materials/supplies belonging to GHS/HCPSS

You are asked to return these items during the drop off on August 26, 2020

• If you are CONTINUING in band/orchestra/guitar and have an instrument, please keep it. If you are no longer playing an instrument, please return this item.
• If you were issued a Chromebook, please keep it. If you are no longer in need of the Chromebook that was issued to you, please return this item. 

Place all materials to be returned to GHS in any type of bag or box labeled with your first and last name.  (The bag/box will not be returned to you.) Include the Material Return Form in the bag/box. This form can be printed and completed, or you can simply write the information on a sheet of paper.

• Please check under beds, in cars, backpacks, anywhere school materials could be buried.  
• If you find library books, older textbooks from siblings, etc. please return these as well.  You can return any outstanding items belonging to GHS/HCPSS -- no questions asked.

 

ARL STUDENTS:  If you have any ARL textbooks or materials from last year that need to be returned to the ARL, you may drop off the materials at Glenelg. Please place your books and materials in a separate bag marked “RETURN TO ARL” along with your Name and Academy’s Name on the front of the bag.

Driving Directions for Drop Off

Vehicles will enter through the Burntwoods Road student parking lot entrance, check-in at station 1, continue behind Glenelg to station 2, and exit onto Sharp Road.  Look for a staff member to direct you.  During the drop-off process, it is critical that students and families maintain all social distancing practices, wear masks and you must remain in your cars. 

As you approach the school, please have the following items ready:

All textbooks and materials to be returned to GHS in a plastic/shopping/grocery bag or box, labeled with your first and last name.  (The bag/box will not be returned to you.) Place the completed Material Return Form (or write the information on a piece of paper) in the bag/box.

If you have materials from the ARL, we can collect these as well. Please make sure the items for the ARL are clearly labeled.

Follow the directions of staff as they direct you into the parking lot. Stay in your car at all times, a staff member will be there to take your returns. 

Remember a family member or friend can drop off these items if you are unable to attend. If you are still not able to return your outstanding material to GHS during the assigned day/time, please email the Principal’s Secretary, Tenille Wagoner, tenille_wagoner@hcpss.org to arrange an alternate drop-off date. 

See you next week!
