The Board of Education meeting scheduled for November 9 has been canceled. The next board meeting will be held on December 5, 2023.
Yesterday, GSCS Superintendent Dr. Keith Simmons treated the district's Teachers of the Year to afternoon tea. Everyone enjoyed chatting and "spilling the tea" with their colleagues. These educators were also thanked for being the "best of the best" and representing their school on the superintendent's advisory council with a gift. Thank you to our Partner In Education, The Emerald Chandelier, for hosting this fun event.

The 2023 National School Psychology Week theme, "Let's Grow Together," is inspired by the importance of both personal and shared strengths in our growth as individuals and school communities in every season of life. The theme recognizes four aspects of growth that are fundamental to effective learning environments and to school psychologists' role in supporting student well-being and learning.
