Orders must be made directly to the high school with cash or check and cannot be made through the online order system using a credit card because the yearbook publisher cannot oversell the books. As orders are received, names will be placed on a purchaser list. If we do not have enough yearbooks, those on the bottom of the list will not receive yearbooks but will receive refunds.

GHS offers athletic physicals By Mr. Rob Irwin For many years, the due date for physicals was any time prior to the first official day of practice. As off-season conditioning and weight training has evolved over time, it is now time to update our due dates to align with this change, making our school safer, and eliminating unnecessary risk. Athletic physicals will now be due prior to participation in pre-season weight training and conditioning. Any student who plans to participate in athletics for the school year in grades 6-12, must have a physical, dated April 1 or after on file in the athletic office. The first day of our summer weight training, open gym, and conditioning will be May 30. We will have staff members available to collect physicals and make sure your son or daughter is cleared prior to participation. Anyone who has a physical dated on or before March 31 or earlier will need a new physical prior to participating in any of our summer programs or pre-season workouts in the upcoming school year. Any physical received on or after April 1 will cover your student for all school sports. What you need to do: 1. Plan on coming to our annual Physical night on May 29 from 6-8 p.m. Health Network assist us with our physical night so we are able to provide an excellent physical for just $ If you do not plan to attend our annual physical night, call your doctor s office and make an appointment for any time between April 1- May 31 to get your physical. If you do not plan to have a child participate in summer weight training, open gym, or conditioning, you just need to make sure you get a physical after April 1 and before any pre-season participation in a sport. *Please understand, we are only providing options for our athletes and always encourage them to see their family doctors. If you have any questions at all, please contact the athletic office.

6 Greenwood High School Post Prom King s Island Trip Sunday, April 29, 2018 On Sunday, April 29, the Greenwood High School Post Prom Committee is sponsoring a chartered bus trip to King s Island. Tickets for the bus/admission to King s Island are limited and will be sold on a first come, first serve basis to Juniors and Seniors and their guest. The cost of the trip is $25 per person and includes the bus transportation and admission to the park. No refunds will be given. Traveling in a group allows a discount on the admission fee, but the student MUST ride the bus to get the reduced fee. Students will receive a boarding pass when purchasing their tickets, but they will NOT receive their admission ticket until they arrive at the park. A ticket booth will be setup on the Senior Rug on Friday, April 6 during Power Hour, Tuesday, April 10 during Power Hour and Wednesday, April 11 at 2 pm. Post Prom payment must be made separate from the purchase of Prom Tickets. The permission slip below MUST be signed by a parent/legal guardian regardless of age. Each ticket purchased requires a permission slip to be turned in at that time. It is a requirement that the student purchasing the ticket(s) is a Junior or Senior currently enrolled in Greenwood High School. You do not have to attend Prom in order to go on the King s Island Post Prom trip. All students must present a student ID to purchase a ticket. The trip is NOT a school sponsored activity. This trip has been a success in the past and is offered to provide a safe, fun, affordable way for students to enjoy King s Island. Students MUST be at school by 7:30 am! Buses will leave promptly at 8 am. Students will return to the school at approximately 8:45 pm. If students leave personal items on the bus, the Greenwood High School Post Prom Committee will not be held responsible for any lost or stolen items. When purchasing tickets, cash or check is accepted. Please make checks payable to: GHS Post Prom Committee. Again, Post Prom/King s Island tickets are sold separately from Prom tickets. Students will need to bring money for any food/drink or extras that they may want during the day. We will give each student the cell phone numbers of the chaperones in case they need to reach an adult. We would like to thank Empower Johnson County for supporting our Post Prom event! This slip MUST be turned in at the time of purchasing a ticket, regardless of your age. I give permission to attend the King s Island trip on Sunday, April 29, I also grant authorization for any emergency medical treatment which my son/daughter may need.
