Attention Parents/Guardians of next year’s seniors-
Today your student received a letter regarding required senior immunizations and a permission form to have the immunization administered Wednesday, 5/24, at GHS. You will receive a digital
copy in LiveGrades.
The Taylor County Health Department is partnering with us to administer immunizations during a school day clinic.
If you would like to check something off the “to do” list, this is your chance. Students must have the form completed and signed to get the immunization. Questions can be directed to our school nurse, Ms. Mayle.
Summer Driver's Education sign ups are now open. Please see Coach Foley in Room C109 for more information and to get signed up. Seats fill quickly, so please be sure to see him as soon as possible if you are interested.
