*Students' last names beginning with A-L will attend school in person on Monday/Tuesday, unless they have been given permission or they are following an older sibling's schedule.

*Students' last name beginning with M-Z will learn remotely on Monday/Tuesday and should login into Canvas and follow teachers' instructions.  Linked here is a copy of the hybrid model that was sent last week. 

*C9 students using our transportation were sent a previous message (linked here) and are expected to follow the Gold Group.

*Seniors taking the make-up ISTEP test will not start Monday and were sent a message last week with details.  

Thank you and please contact the high school office at 317-889-4000 if you have any questions. Continue reading

GHS families:

As a follow-up to Dr. DeKoninck's email, I would like to provide you with the GHS Hybrid schedule. As Dr. DeKoninck stated (his original statement is attached), we will be following the Hybrid schedule until further notice. 

Here are a few items of note:

1. If a household would like to follow only one schedule, but you have students living in the household with different last names, you are permitted to follow the oldest student's schedule. 
2. All students taking Central Nine (C9) will be expected to follow the directions of Dr. Kovach, Director of C9. 
3. As a reminder, we are on a regular school schedule tomorrow (Thursday) and an E-Learning day on Friday. Students do not need to report to school on Friday; however, they are expected to login and complete teacher assignments online. 
4. We will follow the GHS Hybrid Model beginning Monday, November 9th. 

Thank you for your support and being flexible. Also, please reinforce with your student the importance of completing all work and following each teacher's directions. Enjoy your evening.

On September 24th, students enrolled in Preparing for College and Careers this semester will be taking the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. The ASVAB is a well-researched aptitude test that measures developed abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success. ASVAB Career Exploration Program is designed to help young people explore their options and make a plan.

ASVAB results are reported to students and counselors on the ASVAB Summary Results sheet. Scores are released to military recruiters 7 calendar days after results are mailed to the school, without phone numbers. To request that your student's scores not be provided to military recruiters, please complete this form. 

Students who do not pass either the Math 10 or English portion of the ISTEP+ exam may be eligible to use their ASVAB score to graduate without using the waiver process. Therefore it is vital that students put forth their best effort during the ASVAB administration.

Distance Learning Students

Students who are currently participating in distance learning are encouraged to come to the building to participate in the testing administration. Any students taking the ASVAB should report to the cafeteria by 7:25 am. If your student is a distance learner and is planning on coming to school to participate in the ASVAB administration, please complete this form.   Continue reading
