GCT Elementary Safety Team students got to learn about weather safety from Meteorologist Aaron Castleberry, a member of the K8 Weather team. Thank you!
Congratulations to Mrs. Tessa Mosbey's 2nd graders! They earned popsicles for getting 5 stickers on the recess chart. Way to go!
Attention GCT Patrons:
The Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has offered an early start waiver for next school year. This waiver would allow GCT to start school during the week of August 12th as opposed to August 19th. We are asking for some feedback from patrons concerning the early start. Please provide your feedback using the form linked below.

We appreciate our counselors!
SNOW DAY MAKEUP INFORMATION:
The Arkansas Department of Education issued a waiver that allows school districts to change their calendar from traditional to alternate. Traditional calendars calculate days, while the alternate calendar calculates minutes/hours. Districts are allowed to "bank" instructional time and substitute that time for inclement weather days. GCT took advantage of the waiver and was able to substitute two of the three days we missed for snow. This means we only need to make up one day. We will make up this day on February 19th.
To celebrate kindness week, 2nd grade PACE students crafted handmade Valentine cards to share with patients and families facing childhood illness. Specifically, Spreading Sunshine, serving children in Le Bonheur & St. Jude's.
Mrs. Dalea's 3rd graders earned 20,000 points in Moby Max and were rewarded with slime sent just for them from the company. Congratulations!
We celebrated The Great Kindness Challenge with a kindness checklist that we encouraged students to complete. These students completed at least 12 acts of kindness from the list and were drawn for prizes. Congratulations!
These students showed the most growth on the STAR test in either math or literacy.
All of our 2nd graders showed growth from their first test in September so they got to enjoy an ice cream sandwich.
Our 2nd and 3rd graders are ready to cheer on our EAGLE basketball teams tonight as we take on the Paragould Rams.
Girls play at 6:00 and the boys play after, at the High School Arena.
It's a great day to be an Eagle!
Don’t forget tomorrow is the last day to buy tattoos($1) and bracelets($10) for the upcoming game tomorrow night against Paragould!
Tomorrow is GREEN & GOLD day so wear all your Eagle gear!🦅
TECH TRIVIA: How many seniors were in the first GCT graduating class in May of 1948?
Mrs. Maddie Shelton was the 5th person to text in with the correct answer, 67!
Congratulations!
GCT is open and running normal bus routes today, 1-22-2024.
GCT is planning on being open and running normal bus routes on Monday, 1-22-2024. There is a slight risk of inclement weather Monday morning and a potential for dangerous travel conditions. We are watching the weather and will make a decision in the morning based on road conditions and the forecast. As always, safety is a priority and we thank you for your patience and support.
Our PTO will be selling GCT tattoos every morning, January 22-26. These are $1 each. Let an Elementary student or staff member know if you'd like some! We will also have green & gold PuraVida bracelets available, 1 for $10 or 2 for $18.
On Friday, the 26th our Eagle basketball teams will be playing Paragould at the High School Arena starting at 6:00! Come cheer them on!
GCT parents and guardians: We have updated the modified bus routes for this afternoon and highlighted the drop off times. See attachment.
GCT will be open Friday, 1-19-2024 and will use some modified bus routes (see below). Although our campuses are clear and our modified bus stops are clear, we realize that some side roads and county roads still have snow and ice. We urge you to use your best judgment when deciding whether or not to travel to a bus stop or to allow a student to drive. If you believe it is not safe to travel, please stay home and simply call your principal’s office to let them know. Thank you to all patrons for your support and patience. #staygoldeneagles
