The week before Spring Break included the March Big Event...this celebrated students who earned plenty of PBIS points from the third Nine Weeks. Activities included: concessions, treat walk, corn hold, basketball, rock wall, nail painting, temporary tattoos, and other activities in the gym. Kudos to these kids for earning this reward through behavior. #ColtsCan #PBIS #3Rs

On Monday, April 8, 2024, a partial solar eclipse will pass over North America, between 1:45 p.m. and 4:20 p.m., with the sky becoming darkest at the peak of 3:04 p.m. This is our first day back from Spring Break and will be a normal school day for our district. School operations, including check-in and check-out procedures, and all extra-curricular and athletic events will continue as normal. To ensure a safe school day and dismissal, solar-viewing glasses will be provided to all Pre-K through 12th-grade students and teachers.
While this natural phenomenon does provide a unique learning opportunity and is an exciting experience for our students, we urge parents to review the attached safety precautions and discuss them with your child(ren) to ensure the safety of their eyes.
To make this a safe and meaningful learning experience for our students, instructional activities and resources can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D2as73oMt0Z0k5I_zlHovdgzoZReXUxTII8DndGbRLY/edit
Thank you to GSCS Partner in Education Brightmoor Healthcare for surprising our hard-working social workers and giving them gifts for Social Work Month! We appreciate your support!

Your voice matters! Inviting all GSCS parents, students, staff, and community members to join our FY25 Stakeholder Input Meeting. We are seeking your input regarding the District-Level Title I Parent and Family Engagement Plan and District Plan (S-CLIP). See you on March 25th!

See these helpful tips for bus stop and pedestrian safety.
On Tuesday, we had "Real Men Read" with men from the community, district, businesses, and local churches come and read with every single one of our classes. The kids enjoyed it - and I'm pretty sure these gentlemen did, too! We are so thankful for those outside the school who will take the time to build connections with our students (and staff). Thanks to Carver Road Baptist, Georgia Banking Company, Journey Church, Conner-Westbury Funeral Home, GSCS, and Bokar Shiners 166 for sharing your men with us! #ColtsCan #LifeLongReaders #RealMenRead
Last week, we celebrated Read Across America throughout the building. PreK had multiple days of activities! ALL students were given a gameboard with reading activities. (These boards can be returned any time up through March 29 to receive a token for the vending machine. )
