Campus Information
If you were able to attend one (or both) of our Superintendent's Forum sessions, you were able to gain some information related to the most common questions our community wanted to know more about. In addition, we had other questions submitted during each forum session; we are working on those questions, and will share those responses soon. Thank you families, for all of your support!!
Important Announcement
Front Office News
PARKING TAGS: If you have a student driver, please make sure he/she has a parking tag or else they will not be allowed to park on campus. If your child needs to get a tag for his/her vehicle, please have him/her go to the front office this week, as we need all student driver cars identified in our parking lots. In the future, all unidentified vehicles (those without a parking tag) will run the risk of being towed; this is to ensure that all vehicles parked in our parking lots belong to either staff or students at GCPS.
LOST & FOUND: We have quite the collection of lost and found items. Therefore, we will have all lost and found items on our porch area and in front of the K-8 Learning Center during Gator Fest for families to go through and collect their missing items. Any items that do not get picked up will be donated after Gator Fest.

We have made it past the first 9 weeks of school. Report card grades will be posted soon. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to the community, students, and each other. We have had our first two teachers of the month for August and September. Congratulations to Karina Adams and Elizabeth Bailey. We are thankful to have you both as a part of our team! We have Red Ribbon Week coming up with themes for each day. We also have a dress up day on Halloween. Costumes need to be school appropriate. Please, there should not be any masks covering the head or face, these will be confiscated if seen. Thank you all!
High School News
Thank you so much for your support from home as we wrap up this first nine weeks of school! We have set some consistent routines and procedures that will help us continue to grow together and increase our student achievement. We recognized two high school teachers for teacher of the month. Congratulations to Vatina Robinson (August) and Josh Scarlaria (September)! While we can only recognize two teachers, we are grateful for all of our teachers, their hard work and commitment to build relationships and hold students accountable for their highest level of learning. Many students have utilized Prep time before and after school, contacted teachers and are becoming problem solvers inside and outside the classroom. It’s a joy to be a part of your child’s educational journey!
We have Red Ribbon week coming up, followed by Halloween on Monday. We encourage student participation when themes involve dressing up and/or costumes. Students may wear school appropriate costume to school that are within our dress code (no masks please). Our homecoming Dance (for grades 9-12) is also right around the corner as well. It will be Friday, November 18th, after the basketball game. Keep an eye out for more details coming soon.
