Any senior that missed laptop distribution Monday can pick-up Tuesday, 7/20, 3-7 PM, in the GCHS theater lobby. This night is also for all juniors. In order to receive a laptop, online registration must be complete, students and a parent/guardian must sign a contract together in person, and a district technology fee of $25 must be paid by cash or check.
Personal devices will not be allowed to be used for the 1:1 Program. GCSSD devices are configured to seamlessly work within our network, ensure complete program/software access, and are designed to be safe and secure through filtering software. Identical devices for all students also allows for ease of material distribution and maintenance/support/repair for teachers, staff, and students.
If you are unable to attend on your assigned pick-up night, an alterative pick-up time will be announced on Friday, July 23. Please check back on regular information outlets for the day and time.
Congratulations to Ise Cooper & Chloe Taylor! They passed their exams and are certified patient care technicians!

We were informed this morning by TDOE that we will not be receiving all 3-8 and EOC TNReady scores until June 10. We are required to count TNReady scores if they are returned within 5 business days of the last day of school. Since the state did not meet this deadline, we are not required to count the test scores in the overall student average. We recognize the need to finalize student grades. Therefore, we will not count spring TNReady scores. This will allow teachers to finalize grades at this time. Report cards will be finalized by June 3.
