GCS Superintendent Dr. Burke Royster and Sheriff Hobart Lewis ask for parents’ help in ensuring effective reporting of potential threats. The Chiefs of the six local municipal police departments join in full support. We ask parents to monitor your child’s social media accounts closely, help control the spread of false threats and misinformation, and ensure effective reporting occurs. Having your child follow the See Something, Say Something protocols by reporting potential threats directly to the school or law enforcement will maximize the effective use of school and law enforcement resources and ultimately create a safer environment for all students.

In an effort to maximize academic instruction, limit electronic device distractions, and to provide more consistency and clarity for parents and students, we are providing the updated Cell Phone and Electronic Devices Expectations, which were implemented last year and are still in effect for the 2024-25 school year:
For elementary and middle schools, personal electronic devices cannot be used by students during the instructional day without authorized permission by the principal or principal’s designee for unique events. This includes cell phones, smart watches, and other personal communication devices. All personal devices must remain out of sight of others and be silenced during this time.
Elementary school instructional day: 7:45 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.
Middle school instructional day: 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.
This information is also found in our 2024-25 Student Handbook. Please reach out to Mrs. Holman with any questions by contacting the front office.
