From The Learning Commons
All textbooks, library books, and calculators are due on Friday, May 27th. We do not assess fines, but we will charge for the replacement of lost items. We emailed all items loaned out to student emails on Friday. Thank you for supporting the school by returning borrowed materials on time!
Please email Mrs. Gilstrap (cgilstrap@glnd.k12.va.us) if you have any questions or concerns.
Minority Law and Research Institute (MLARI)
The 22nd Annual MLARI is designed to expose underrepresented students to consider careers in law, research, and the legal profession. Students participating in this year’s Virtual On-Line institute from June 13th - 17th are rising 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders. The institute is an effective method for identifying and recruiting students interested in career options for the legal profession. It is also an excellent way to expose and motivate students for careers in law or whatever careers they may choose. Applications are available on Schoology or in the School Counseling office, and the deadline to apply is Monday, May 23rd.
Please email one of our School Counselors if you have any questions.

Senior Laptop/Materials Collection
We will collect senior laptops on Friday, May 27th, during Bulldog Block. Here are a few details regarding our laptop return process:
- Seniors must be cleared of all obligations (laptops, textbooks, calculators, etc.) before May 27th.
- Seniors must back up their laptops. Directions for backing up the computer and transferring Google accounts are here.
- Seniors must turn in three required items: Laptop ($679), laptop charger ($50), laptop case ($35), and Kajeet items (if issued to you).
- If an item is missing, the obligation will need to be paid in full to replace it.
If a senior cannot turn in all items by this time, the last opportunity will be during graduation practice on June 4th. Students will not be given graduation tickets until all obligations are fulfilled.
If you have any questions about the information above, please email Mrs. Richards at crichards@glnd.k12.va.us or Mrs. Gilstrap at cgilstrap@glnd.k12.va.us.
SOL Testing Reminder
Students: If you are taking any of the SOL tests on Wednesday, May 25th, please make sure that you bring both a fully charged laptop and your computer charger to school. The Learning Commons does not have enough loaner laptops or chargers to meet everyone's needs, so please don't forget to grab both before leaving the house. Good luck!
Sports Physicals for 2022-23SY
The GHS Athletics Department will offer sports physicals on Thursday, May 26th, at 3:45 pm for $20. Participants must complete an Acknowledgement of Limited Relationship form prior to the physical. Please see Coach Fowler, Coach Fruth, Coach Gordon, Ms. Black, or any head coach for a form. For more details, contact Coach Fowler (jfowler@glnd.k12.va.us) or Coach Gordon (prgordon@glnd.k12.va.us).
Spring Testing Calendar
Please refer to the attached GHS Spring 2022 Testing Calendar for end-of-the-year testing information and upcoming events. We plan to hold another asynchronous day (May 25th) to accommodate our staffing needs during SOL testing. Only students who must take an SOL will report on those dates. All other students will work on previously assigned work from home. No one will be required to log into a virtual class on those days.
Additionally, all students must take their final exams during the specified testing window. Anyone unable to attend school during the exam window must have a parent contact their administrator.
Please contact me (cwcollier@glnd.k12.va.us) or Dr. Rainbolt (srainbolt@glnd.k12.va.us) if you have any questions.
