Thanks to everyone who came out to our fall student led conferences this evening. We are so proud of our students for showing their leadership skills as they reflected and shared their data, areas of strength, and areas of growth with you.
We will host another round in the spring.

Traversa Ride 360 is now available for parents and students to download on their Apple or Android mobile devices. Simply search the app store for “Traversa Ride 360” to download and register yourself on the app. This technology will replace VersaTrans MyStop.
Traversa Ride 360 is designed so parents and students can access the student’s bus information in the fastest way possible. GPS technology on the bus works with Student Transportation to automatically calculate the timing of a bus route to give the most accurate route data with real-time updates. Parents and students may sign up for notifications to be automatically alerted about changes in a student’s bus status.

This week is Georgia Pre-K Week! Now in its 13th year, this weeklong annual event celebrates Georgia’s Pre-K Program, which has educated more than 2 million youth since it began over 30 years ago!
GSCS has 22 pre-k classes totaling 456 pre-k students. Throughout the week, GSCS Central Office Administrators, Board of Education Members & Partners In Education will be reading this year's featured book, Cheer: A Book to Celebrate Community by Uncle Ian Aurora, in all of our pre-k classes.
Pre-K Week raises awareness for the importance of quality early childhood education. Georgia’s Pre-K Program launched in 1992 as a small pilot program serving 750 four-year-old children in the state. Now, 31 years later, the lottery-funded program has laid a solid foundation for academic excellence and future success in the lives of more than 2 million children in Georgia.
All students that meet the 95% attendance goal from October 5th to October 31st will get to participate in watching a movie on November 2nd at The Hill!
Help us Strive for 95! #thehillwill

Today, October 2, is National Custodial Worker Day and we want to recognize, celebrate and thank all of the amazing individuals who keep GSCS clean, maintained and operating smoothly!

However, the results of their efforts are among the most critically important and highly recognizable things seen in our facilities. So, on National Custodial Workers Day, be sure to show your appreciation to the custodians who keep our schools and district clean!
