If there is a year we need to stop and thank a teacher, this is the year. This year especially, our teachers have gone above and beyond to make your child have a successful school year. Facing challenges that are once in a lifetime, our teachers have doubled down before, during, and after school hours planning for success. Some teachers even tested positive for Covid and still did their best under quarantine. So, take a moment this week, send a text, note, card, or even call a teacher and give them a big "THANK YOU!" I know I will.
Guy-Perkins High School is pleased to announce that the Mt. Olive Baptist Church will be hosting this year's 2021 Senior Baccalaureate Service this upcoming Sunday, May 2nd at 6:30 p.m. All seniors and their immediate family are invited to come celebrate this achievement in their child's life with a word of faith and inspiration.
Everyone had a great time at the Guy-Perkins FFA awards banquet and auction. Over 80 people had a great meal, recognized our students, and raised close to $6,000 for the program. Many thanks to our students, parents, and teacher sponsor, Mr. Bowie. We are T-BIRD STRONG!
Spring Picture Reminder!!!

From Mr. Barnes- I would like to remind students and parents about the dress code as warmer weather has started. You can refer to the student handbook which states our school district policy (4.25) for greater details. For boys, I want to stress the rule about no muscle shirts. They can only be worn as an undergarment. For girls, ripped jeans can not expose skin the length of a dollar bill above the knee cap. This is the same rule for shorts. Also, leggings and yoga pants are not considered pants in the regular definition. These garments are too form fitting to be worn by themselves. They worn under another piece of clothing that covers appropriate areas and maintains the same length. If a student is sent to the office for a dress code violation, parents/guardians will be contacted to bring different clothing to school. The office will have some clothing items for students to wear the rest of the school day if parents/guardians can't come to the school. Parents, please help the school in this matter.
We are having some issues with students using cell phones during school hours, and some students bullying others over cell phones. Students will turn their cell phones into the office each morning upon arrival to school and will be allowed to pick them up each afternoon at dismissal. If you need to get a message to your child, please call the office. If at any time a student has an emergency at school they will be allowed to use the office phone to contact a parent or guardian. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Tammy Murry by email (tammy.murry@gptbirds.org), or phone (501-679-3509).
Tickets are on sale NOW!

Thursday, April 8, 2021, Guy-Perkins High School, along with members of Guy city police and school resource officer, state police, fire and rescue personnel, Med-Flight will be conducting a mock (fake) prom car accident demonstration at 9:00 a.m. This program will emphasize the real life consequences of drunk driving during the prom season. We want our students to have fun and make great memories, but be safe as well. We want to inform our community what the school will be doing that morning to lessen the chance of individuals thinking some type of true emergency has happened.
Parents/Guardians of Guy-Perkins students are asked to participate in a survey concerning the district's mask requirement by Monday, April 19. Go to https://forms.gle/pCfbNpDbnCCpkDxV8 to complete this quick survey.
