We will allow students to check out on Tuesday, October 28th at 9:30 A.M. to drive to the game in Chattanooga. You will be required to have a parent note, or your parent must come to the school to check you out to leave the school property. There will be no exceptions made. You will check out in the gym lobby with Mrs. Miller or Mrs. McCollum. When you arrive at the game in Chattanooga, it will be your responsibility to find Mrs. Tami Johnson and check in with her. You will need to be signed in to your GCSSD account to check in; this will cover you for 2nd–4th blocks on Tuesday.  If you do not report to school on Tuesday, you will need to use a parent note for 1st block.  Due to seniors taking the ACT on Tuesday, any senior wanting to attend the game does not need to come to school at all on Tuesday.  In order to have 1st-4th blocks excused on Tuesday for seniors, they will need to sign in with Mrs. Tami Johnson at the game.  Seniors will take the ACT on the makeup day. Please remember you must have a parent note to check out, or your parent will need to physically come to the school to check you out on Tuesday or Wednesday. There will be no exceptions. We will not accept a phone call, text message, email, or fax. Not checking in with a designated person at the game will result in your attendance being counted as unexcused for the time you are not in school.  If the girls win on Tuesday, they will play at 6:30 P.M. on Wednesday, October 29th. Students will be allowed to check out on Wednesday, October 29th at 11:30 A.M. The same procedures from Tuesday will be followed. Parent notes are required to check out, and you will need to check in with Mrs. Tami Johnson at the game for your 3rd and 4th block to be excused. Additionally, if you choose not to attend school on Thursday, October 30th, that day will be excused, if you have checked in with Mrs. Johnson on Wednesday.
