What a great day our GSCS Exceptional Students had at the Special Olympics Track & Field Event today at Spalding High! Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so fun and special for our students!
The Atlanta Braves Foundation and Truist Bank held a ribbon-cutting ceremony yesterday afternoon at the Griffin High School baseball & softball complex. Griffin High School is the 2nd school and 3rd overall project to benefit from baseball and softball improvements made possible by the Braves Park Projects program. The new facility improvements include a brand-new covered batting cage that will
be used by both the GHS baseball and softball teams and two outfield windscreens for the baseball and softball fields. The new facility improvements come after a tornado damaged much of the property. GSCS and GHS are very appreciative of the Braves Park Projects program and Truist Bank!
First National Bank hosted the 41st Annual Outstanding Student Banquet last evening. The banquet honored Seniors from Griffin High and Spalding High with a grade point average of 89.5 and higher. Families enjoyed a delicious meal catered by Margo's and heard from inspirational keynote speaker Ben Raymond. Ben is a former athlete, corporate executive turned entrepreneur, philanthropist, motivational speaker, development coach, mentor and author. Congratulations to these outstanding students and thank you to FNB and everyone who helped make this event a success!

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.
