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.
Please vote for your favorite pumpkin! https://bit.ly/3Ygog4d

Red Ribbon inspires our kids to be happy, drug free, and brave! Each day of Red Ribbon Week, we have a theme that ties those ideas and the mission to help our students live a drug-free life. Monday was "I'm red-y to say no to drugs".
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.
We had a great time last night thanks to our amazing partner, Carver Road Baptist. They provided games, a bounce house, hot dogs, chips, drinks, popcorn, snow cones for our Fall Festival. Thanks to teachers/teams who decorated for trunk or treat, too! We are so glad many of our families showed up to enjoy the evening with us. #ColtsCan #FallFestival
Yesterday was Jumpstart's Read for the Record featuring the book, Piper Chen Sings! Classes read the book aloud or watched a video of the superintendent or the books' authors reading it. This is a nationwide event and we had fun taking part in this collaborative read. #ColtsCan #ReadForTheRecord
