As required by the state, GCS Student Calendars for 2025-26 and 2026-27 have been updated to include three potential makeup days. These calendars were previously released in 2024. Makeup days will only be used if eLearning is not possible. Other than the three makeup days due to Hurricane Helene, GCS has only needed to use eLearning days and no makeup days in the last five years so it’s unlikely these will be needed outside of unusual, extenuating circumstances.

We understand that some children need to carry a cellphone, smartwatch, or other smart device for before and after school communication. However, students do not need them during the day. We have a “bell to bell – no cellphone” expectation.
The cell phone or smart device must be kept in your child’s backpack during school hours and/or while in the school building.
