Announcements
I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July! Please make sure your child is continuing to work on their summer reading assignment. I have included in this newsletter our school supply list for the upcoming school year. Also, please review the "Do's/Don'ts" of our school dress code. I want to ensure all parents/students are aware of the campus dress code before purchasing school clothes for the upcoming school year. At the end of this newsletter, I have provided a few frequently asked questions for you to review. If you have any questions, please email me at Lgoodson@gcsd.k12.sc.us. Thank you!

Register your child!
For the 2019 – 2020 school year, registration will be done online; however, you must continue to provide proof of residency. Your child should have received a unique snap code and a letter providing information on how to register; you can access the link below or on the district's website at any time prior to the start of school.
We have designated two days to assist families with registration and to take 6th grade ID pictures. RMS registration will be held on Tuesday, July 30th from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and July, Aug. 31st from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.
