DRAMA Recently, students in Mrs. Long's drama class participated in a team-building activity. They were divided into groups of three; one student was blindfolded while the others acted as guides. Those students who were designated as guides used only their voices to direct the blindfolded student in solving a puzzle. The goal of this activity was to help students enhance both their communication and listening skills. Excellent work, Wildcats!

NTI LEARNING UPDATE: JANUARY 22, 2025 We hope that each of our Wildcats are staying safe and warm throughout the continued pattern of wintry weather! As we look forward, we are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of some warmer temperatures. Today, as students continue working on their non-traditional instruction (NTI) tasks, all students should be working from hard copies. Currently, we are experiencing a building-wide internet outage; however, questions and needs will be addressed by teachers via e-mail, Google Classroom, and Remind as service permits. Please know that we will continue to accommodate the individualized needs of each of our students and demonstrate flexibility to make sure that all students have opportunities and necessary supports to complete their required learning activities. As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns. Stay safe and stay warm, Wildcats!

GCSD will utilize NTI on January 21st and 22nd. The forecasted temperature is as low as 2 degrees with frostbite warnings. We want our kids in school as much as parents, but we also want everyone safe. We would greatly appreciate it if someone could locate Elsa and calm her down. - Supt. Moresea #BelieveInGC
