Special Agent Kabrhel has a unique style of presenting this information that connects with both adults and minors to educate and empower them to be Internet aware.

This presentation is for students in grades 7-8. This session will be held on Thursday, September 7 from 11:00 a.m.- Noon during the students regular scheduled learning lab. Parents are encouraged to attend this session.

Grades 4-12: Full-Time Student ID Badges

GCPS is committed to ensuring its schools are safe and orderly. The school system takes a very proactive approach to ensuring the safety of students, staff members and campus visitors. As part of the district
wide initiative, GOC now has the new security system in place. 
 
Students are required to visibly wear or carry their ID card with them at all times to scan upon entrance and exit of the building. Students who do not bring ID cards or lose their card will be issued a new card resulting in a $5.00 charge per new card.  

If students have not picked up their new GOC Student ID Badge, please stop by the Office of Student Services next time you are on campus.
