The academic community highly values the acknowledgment of other people's contributions to knowledge. The disciplinary consequences of academic dishonesty at GSST can be severe. As a student you could receive a failing grade, suspension from school, jeopardize references or in extreme cases, you could lose your scholarship awards and acceptance into college. Read the entire Honor Pledge.

All GSST Courses will have supporting materials posted on Canvas.

Parents & Guardians who are driving students to GSST must follow directional signage. They should enter the parking lot in front of the building and park in a "Visitor" space while their student exits the vehicle. Please DO NOT stop in the Bus Lane immediately in front of the building and do exercise caution as you exit the Visitor space to leave.

Appropriate forms (LINK) must be completed for student drivers who are transporting other students who are not family members. Parents/guardians of both the driver and rider must complete the paper forms which must be submitted to Dr. Patterson.

Busing to and from GSST is provided by your school district transportation department. Any questions you have regarding times, locations, etc. must be addressed directly to them.

Students must follow directional signage and drive around the building in a counter-clockwise direction.

As a Regional Education Center, NHREC cannot dismiss students for all home school holidays, early dismissals, and teacher workdays.

If a student is absent from school, this Plan will ensure continuous learning via either synchronous Virtual instruction or asynchronous work assigned by the GSST instructor.

If a student is unable to attend GSST in person, the parent/guardian must contact the school. Student attendance via either synchronous (Zoom) session or asynchronous (alternate assignment) is expected. Students who feel unwell must contact their teacher and then complete assignments as arranged, once they have recovered sufficiently to work.

Masks are currently optional and, no matter one's individual choice, the choices of others will be respected. Students who feel unwell should plan to stay home, notify their teachers, and attend class virtually via CANVAS.

It is imperative that GSST faculty are notified by the parent/guardian if the student is unable to physically attend class for any reason.

Any updates to the current policy will be posted on the website.

Several Clubs and Competition Teams are available to GSST students. Student interests does determine the annual clubs. Last year's Club Descriptions and Faculty Sponsor information can be found using this LINK to Clubs List
