CORRECTION: In preparation for the 20-21 school year, the HS administration will host a 7th grade/New Student Campus Tour/ Orientation in the Gym tomorrow, August 20th at 6 pm. If you have not picked up your schedule already, you may pick it up at that time. We look forward to seeing you. The correct time is 6 pm not 7 pm.
LOCKERS- Students will have access to lockers this year. Students will be required to wear masks while accessing their lockers, due to the inability to social distance. Locker assignments will be posted outside the office door the first day of school for your student to locate. If anyone is in need of a combination lock, they can request one with Mrs. Dooley in the office. A lock is not required.

COVID-19 Statement from Guy-Perkins School District: This week, two student-athletes tested positive for COVID-19.
Although these student-athletes did not workout on campus, out of extreme caution the Guy-Perkins Athletic Department has cancelled on-site workouts until August 17. We appreciate these parents for monitoring their children for signs of fever, sore throat, and/or loss of smell and taste and having them tested before they came to school. Parents are our first line of defense. Stay safe and healthy!
The Guy Perkins Gifted and Talented Department received a generous donation from @Puffs through @AdoptAClassroom. Our GT Coordinator, Ms. Smith used the funds to purchase materials for units the students will work on in this school year. We would like to thank @Puffs and @AdoptAClassroom for supporting teachers, classrooms, and students.
