Instructional Information & Updates
Registration for the PSAT
The PSAT will be given on October 12, 2022. This is a GREAT opportunity to prepare for college readiness assessments at no cost and be able to see how the actual SAT is designed.
College App Day
College App Day is October 7th! Seniors will meet and work with several neighboring colleges to complete initial tasks required for college acceptance.
Parent Backpack
We are asking all parents to sign up for GCS Parent Backpack. A backpack for parents account provides parents, guardians, or contacts with a central place to sign in to do the following:
- View their student's information including demographics, attendance, classes, grades, lunch balances, and test scores
- Apply or register their student to Special Focus schools and programs (Fine Arts Center, Career Centers, etc.)
- Receive alerts and notifications regarding their students
- View their student's school and contact information
- Manage parent and contact information for their students
The first 50 parents to sign up for a new Parent Backpack account will be entered into a drawing for a Walmart voucher sponsored by OnTrack Greenville.
