October is National Bullying Awareness Month. GCS students who experience or witness bullying can make an anonymous report to school officials using the STOPit web app at https://appweb.stopitsolutions.com/login or by downloading the STOPit app on any mobile device. Links to STOPit and incident reports are available on school and district websites and bookmarked on all student Chromebooks. Teachers and parents can assist students in submitting reports if they are too young to do so themselves. #StopBullying #BeKind
Please remember to join us at 5:30 this evening at EGMS for an informational forum on continuation of the school levy. Continuation of the levy is on the Nov. 8 election ballot.
Since 1993, officials around the world proclaim the third week in October as #CharacterCountsWeek. GCS students learn the importance of developing and demonstrating good character every day through Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) serves nearly 30 million children every school day. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. GCS celebrates #NSLW and the 2022 theme, Peace, Love & School Lunch.
Reminder: GCS will host two forums to share information on continuation of the school levy. The first forum will be held at WGMS on Monday, Sept. 19 at 5:30 p.m. A second forum will be held at EGMS on Monday, Sept. 26 at 5:30 p.m. Continuation of the school levy is on the Nov. 8 election ballot.

To request a free home covid test from our county office, please call 304-647- 6457.
