- MISCELLANEOUS INFO
- Grownups need to bring in any student medication that needs to be taken at school (including inhalers, epi pens, etc.) with appropriate medical documentation. The link for the student medication form is HERE and can also be found on our GBCS.ORG website under FOR PARENTS > PARENT DOCS AND FORMS.
- Please make sure to bookmark our 22-23 school year calendar.
- Both offices could use water bottle donations for students. If you're able to help by sending in bottled water, please do!
- If you've already turned in your Parent Volunteer form to our Anderson or McGrath offices, please make sure you also send a picture of your driver's license to kbohr@gbcs so that we can process these forms.
