Report Cards went home on Thursday along with iReady data from Beginning of Year assessments in Reading and Math .Please sign the report card and have your child return it to school if you have not done so already.

Our PTO will celebrate our honor roll students Wednesday morning.

We had a great day and great time at our PBIS Reward on Friday. We are planning now for our December event at the end of the second nine weeks. Students who have no OSS, ISS, Bus suspension or more than 1 Rebound for the nine weeks are eligible to attend.

We continue to have our weekly drawings for students. We celebrate 2 students and teachers per grade level every Friday with our weekly drawing. We also draw one student each week for all tickets submitted that nine weeks so that everyone is eligible every week - who has turned in tickets.

If you would like to help with our STEAM clubs please see the link below.

Students were able to select the 5 choices that interested them the most. All clubs are for fun, learning a new skill, or building on some current level of interest. These will be held on Friday afternoon.

GCS acknowledges that parents may opt to allow students to bring cell phones/two way communication devices (including watches) on school property for the purpose of communication as long as they are not activated, used, displayed or visible during the instructional day (which is as soon as students enter the building). School employees are permitted to confiscate any device which is activated, used, displayed or visible once students go thru metal detection. Phones which require parent pick up must be picked up by parent or guardian.

Therefore, the expectation is that if parents allow students to bring phones to school that they remain in their bookbag, OFF and AWAY, from the time they arrive at school until they leave at the end of the day.

See Rule 18 in the GCS Code of Conduct for full policy.

Please reference this electronic handbook if you have any questions regarding general polices and procedures for school.

Students who wear hoodie sweatshirts to school need to make sure their hood remains off their head inside the building.

Flannel pants and pajama pants are not appropriate school attire.
