Dear GHS Students,
It has come to our attention that some students still do not know all of the guidelines of our school’s hallways and lunch hours. We believe Covid-19 has had a great impact on our lowerclassmen(freshman and sophomores) as they missed out on their first few years in a regular high school setting. The continuation of these problems has received multiple complaints from other students that we feel the need to address them.
When you’re walking through the halls please keep your head up and look where you are going. We have heard the complaints of students who trip over others because they are walking too slow, or staring down at their phone as they walk to class. The hallway is for going to class or having conversations at the side. Feel free to listen to music as you go to your next classes, or meet with your friends, but please do not pay attention to only your phone or you will run into someone. Be aware of your surroundings at the very least.
During lunch, please refrain from throwing food at each other. We have heard the complaints of students from B lunch that a group of students has been throwing food at each other, and from what has been said, at other people across the cafeteria. Whether this is true or not, to the students that have been doing this, stop. It is not a funny game or a joke. People have spoken their frustrations about grapes being thrown during lunch. Some teachers have even told you to stop doing this, yet you continue to persist as more grapes are found on the ground every day during 6th hour study hall. All you are doing is making the custodian’s jobs harder. So congratulations if that is what you’re hoping to achieve.
To the students who have shown respect to themselves, other people, staff, and their surroundings during lunch, keep it up. Your behavior is the type we are looking for to represent GHS.
Everyone’s voice is important at GHS. We welcome any complaints and will continue to deal with them in a safe manner, but please be the solution, not the problem. If we stopped doing these things, I am positive that we can fix the complaints of frustrated students. Begin to show respect for yourself, other students, and staff, and become the role models for future GHS students.
Sincerely,
Pioneer Outlook
