On Monday, April 8, 2024, a partial solar eclipse will pass over North America, between 1:45 p.m. and 4:20 p.m., with the sky becoming darkest at the peak of 3:04 p.m. This is our first day back from Spring Break and will be a normal school day for our district. School operations, including check-in and check-out procedures, and all extra-curricular and athletic events will continue as normal. To ensure a safe school day and dismissal, solar-viewing glasses will be provided to all Pre-K through 12th-grade students and teachers.
While this natural phenomenon does provide a unique learning opportunity and is an exciting experience for our students, we urge parents to review the attached safety precautions and discuss them with your child(ren) to ensure the safety of their eyes.
To make this a safe and meaningful learning experience for our students, instructional activities and resources can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D2as73oMt0Z0k5I_zlHovdgzoZReXUxTII8DndGbRLY/edit

The GSCS transportation department is in the Annual Transportation Registration Process that takes place each school term. Our goal is to capture each returning students' transportation needs for the upcoming 2024-2025 school term. Capturing this information ensures that all scholars utilizing the bus can access accurate schedules and stop locations prior to the beginning of the new school term. This information will also be made available at your school’s open house ceremony. An individual request for each student is completed via the Transportation Request Form.
Reminder: Submitted requests are due no later than March 31st, 2024. Forms must be be completed if your student:
1. will need to be transported by school bus AM/PM or Both
2. needs an alternate stop.
*Alternate stop requests are subject to approval and contingent upon seating availability. Alternate stops will only be approved once per semester and can only be AM/PM or Both. We will not honor daily requests. Please note that alternate stops can take up to August 19, 2024 for approval as initial requests are the priority.
