Good evening,
This is Assistant Principal Cyrus Shojai calling from Gorton High School. I want to invite all parents and families to our PTSA meeting on Tuesday, October 14th, at 5:30 p.m. in the school library.

We’ll be sharing important information about graduation requirements, student transcripts, and upcoming school events.
Also, a quick reminder that schools will be closed on Monday, October 13th, for the Columbus Day holiday.

We hope you enjoy the long weekend and look forward to seeing you at Tuesday’s PTSA meeting.

The Charles E. Gorton High School Open house is on Thursday, September 25th from 6:00-8:00pm. Here we will discuss course outlines, teacher expectations and schoolwide changes to GHS. We look forward to seeing EVERYONE!

::::REMINDER::::
All parent permission forms for 1:1 devices MUST be handed in before we can give students their Chromebooks. The form was distributed last week and is due TOMORROW, September 10th to their ELA teachers.

Good evening, Class of 2029 families. This is 9th Grade Assistant Principal, Mr. Shojai, welcoming all students and families back to school.

Today, our 9th-grade students attended their first assembly, where we discussed our cohort theme in detail: One Pack, One Future! Students also learned about school policies and protocols, as well as exciting opportunities to join SMART Scholars or P-Tech, which allow students to begin earning college credits. Each student received an application for these programs, which should be returned by the end of this week.

We are also rolling out our 1:1 Chromebook devices. Each student will receive a Chromebook to use both at school and at home. To receive one, students must return the Use and Loan Agreement signed by a parent. These forms were distributed last week and are due tomorrow.

I strongly encourage every family to join our PTSA. The PTSA funds key events throughout the year and provides scholarships for students. Membership forms were emailed, and the PTSA will also be present at our Coffee with the Principal event with Mr. Morales on September 20th from 9–11 a.m.

Thank you all for a wonderful first week. I look forward to seeing you at our Open House on September 25th.

—Cyrus Shojai, Assistant Principal
