Dear Parents and Students,
We would like to inform you that boys' basketball tryouts will begin on Monday, the 4th, at 5:30 PM and will continue through Thursday, the 7th. Please be aware that there will be daily cuts during this period, as our Head Basketball Coach will select the final team of 13 to 15 players. To participate in the tryouts, students must have an up-to-date physical, which should be submitted to Coach Wilder.
Thank you!

Last evening GSCS held a town hall meeting to open a conversation about students’ cell phone use in school. Do cell phones compliment students' educational experience or create conflict? Schools across the state and nation have implemented policies regarding cell phones. Click this link to watch a video of an example of one option. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRQa8X5ORek
There is no proposal in GSCS, at this time, we simply would like to gather feedback from staff, students, parents and community members on this subject. Use the following link or scan the QR code in the image to take the survey. https://tejoin.com/scroll/624212205
Please complete the survey questions and answer the primary question in the Thought Exchange then please rate at least ten of the thoughts that others have shared. If the thought is something you believe has merit and should be further discussed rate it a four or a five. If the idea is not something that resonates as needing additional conversation rate it lower (1,2,3). Thank you in advance for your valuable feedback.
Reminder: Town Hall meeting regarding cell phones in the classroom this evening at 6:30 p.m. at the Griffin Auditorium - 324 East Taylor St. Griffin, GA 30224.
This evening 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. don't miss the Fall Festival at GRCCA - 221 Spalding Drive Griffin, GA 30224. Get candy, meet local businesses, and learn about free college dual enrollment opportunities. Enjoy a live band, food trucks, and prizes for the best costumes.
