Water bottles
Please send a water bottle to school with your student(s) every day. Also, feel free to send an extra one in their book bag to keep when it is forgotten or when they run out of water.
Forks and spoons
Please don't forget to send forks and spoons in your student's lunch box as needed for snack and lunch.
Kids have grown a lot this summer—please be conscientious... if you have any questions regarding dress code, please click the links below.
Morning Drop-Off
Please have your students ready to exit your vehicle when you enter the drop-off line. This will help the process move smoothly and quickly. Feel free to park and walk your children to the door if you need some extra time.

The level of cooperation, flexibility, communication, and love for one another as we follow COVID-19 protocols this school year has been fantastic!!!
Keep up the good work, and please contact us with any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have as
we continue through the school year.

 |
We could use one or two volunteers to assist us in the middle of the school day with some COVID-19 sanitizing that will take forty-five minutes to complete.
We still need someone's help on Thursdays.
|
|
|
|
Come October, we will need someone to lead and teach our student worship team.
The class occurs on Mondays from 2:35-3:20 PM.
|
We have been unable to serve hot lunches so far this year, as we still need volunteers to assist us with safely serving ordered meals.
Food service volunteers would only need to be at GCS for one hour each week for one, two, or three days.
|
|
|
|
If you are able to assist us with any of these, please contact Mr. Kerr.
|
|
If you have not yet done so, we request that you review the HS Attendance Policies found on pages 37-42 of the Family Handbook.
Calling to notify us before 8:05 AM (or earlier) is helpful, but we do need an email or written note from a parent/guardian explaining the cause(s) before we can consider designating an absence or tardy as "excused."
Parents should frequently check the attendance record of their HS student(s), as should the students themselves, and bring to our attention any questions or concerns that arise.

Our Cross Country teams will host the first of two GCS Invitationals on September 12th at Coyner Springs Park in Waynesboro. Due to state COVID restrictions, we cannot allow spectators who are non-family members, and they are limited as well. Please check out our Facebook group for video and pictures.
