GHS ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 2017
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
WORK PERMITS: When you get a work permit EVERY box needs to be filled out on the Intent to Employ form before we will issue you the work permit. Please bring completed forms to the main office in the morning and they will be completed by the end of the school day.
Please take special notice of the railroad crossing to be closed starting Monday, August 21st by Penguin Point. The last time that particular crossing was closed, there was a significant increase in the number of vehicles using the streets around GHS and the GCS Administration Center. At times, cars and trucks drove down 10th street the wrong way, and did not stop at the corner of 10th Street and Purl Street because there is no stop sign at that intersection (if vehicles are going south/the wrong way). Goshen Schools is working with the city, INDOT and Norfolk Southern to post proper, temporary signage to route traffic in safe patterns. However, please use extra caution during the railroad closure. Walk, bike, and drive defensively; we want you to be safe!
Picture retakes will be on September 8th! Picture retake forms are available in the Main Office from Mrs. Wolfe if you did not have your picture taken the first day of school. If you did have your pictures taken and you want retakes, you need to bring your other pictures back in to the photographer. Even if you are NOT ordering pictures, if you missed picture day on the first day you MUST get your picture taken!
Just a reminder that if you are coming to see Ms. Tovar you need to check in with the staff in the main office. Please do not cut through the nurse’s office to get there.
