PASS IT ON PROJECT

What we have going on here at GCS is special and unique! Help us keep going strong by supporting the first of two school-wide fundraisers! We ask that every household find a way to provide support. Filling out a champion list (more information on this later) is the easiest way, but we also need volunteers, service sites, and service project leaders!

Pass It On: At-a-Glance
Have a service site in mind for our students?
Would you like to volunteer to help?

All staff and students will receive a free shirt, thanks to our sponsor, Staunton Veterinary Clinic! If you would like to purchase one (or five!) for yourself or a non-student, order here this week!

High School News

Photo Days

By request of the photographer, the date for HS School Photos has been postponed to Monday, October 10.


We will have class and individual photos (of each HS student) taken on this date. More details will be sent as we get close to this new date.


Makeup photos will be taken on Monday, November 14.

Gum-Chewing

Even on days when you did not brush your teeth, chewing gum inside any GCS building is prohibited. Violation of this policy most likely will result in assignment of a behavioral detention.

Dress Code Reminder

Except on Casual or Casual + Days, students should not wear t-shirts to school. 


Also, when wearing sweatshirts, hoodies, etc. as "outerwear," students should have a top underneath their "outerwear" that falls within our dress code guidelines.

MS/HS Dress Code

Student Planners


Students may pick up a student planner from Mrs. Kilmer's office upon request, while supplies last. There is no charge for this.
