GCT Patrons,
This morning we had two reports I wanted to make you aware of:
1. We had a report of gunshots near the Primary school. We notified our SRO. He swiftly investigated and quickly reported that someone was shooting squirrels. All is clear
2. We had a JH student show us a screenshot of a generic post with language referencing pulling a fire alarm, etc. We notified our SRO and the GCSO investigated. They discovered the origin of the post and determined it was unrelated to our school district. All is clear.

GCT Administration became aware of an incident where a student made some concerning comments on a school bus. Action was taken by Administration and the Greene County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating. There was no immediate danger and at no point was anyone in harm's way.
This is not related to the unsubstantiated social media rumors addressed by the GCSO this morning.
As always, safety is our top priority and we appreciate our partnership with the GCSO.
Picture day is coming soon!
Order forms went home with students yesterday.

It is that time again! GOLDEN EAGLE FOOTBALL IS HERE! Below are a few reminders for parents and students to ensure we have a safe environment for all in attendance:
1. Students up to the 5th grade must be with an adult. This includes when the students go to the concession stand and/or the restroom.
2. No students will be allowed to play football or other games inside the stadium.
3. Upon entering the stadium, the students must remain there. Should they leave, they will not be allowed to re-enter.
4. For safety reasons, students will not be allowed to leave the stadium and go to the playground.
5. No students will be allowed to hang out on the south end, the visitors’ side, or the practice field. (Ohana will be on the south end of the stadium, so they can buy the shaved ice and then go back to the north end)
6. During the Jr. High games, all students must sit in the bleachers. We realize that everyone may not be able to find a seat at the High School games. However, if students want to watch the game from the hill, they must be seated.
7. Students will not be allowed to congregate on the sidewalk.
Thank you all for your support!

GCT Elementary parents: Here are some maps showing the path you should take when dropping off your students in the morning and the path you should follow when picking up your students in the afternoon.
Keep in mind that construction at the Middle School will prohibit through traffic during the school day. Therefore, you will need to come in gate 3 (east side of the Jr. High) and exit out gate 4 (west side of Jr. High) if coming to school to drop-off or pick-up a student during the school day.
Attention Patrons: GCT Elementary School had a faulty fire alarm pull station which resulted in a response from the fire department. Elementary is back in the building and safe.
What an awesome back to school district staff meeting at GCT!!! We would like to thank everyone who donated to our giveaways to help make today a great success.
