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.

Congratulations to the GCTHS Choir students that earned a place in the 2024 All-State Choir at competition.
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.
Congratulations to Alyssa Coffel. She is the January AR Reader of the Month.
I really enjoyed watching the Tech TV students working the Miss GCT pageant. The students did a fantastic job filming the program. Watching the director from behind the scenes was an experience that opened my eyes to the talents and skills our kids in the program have.
The GCT Pre-School Beauty Pageant contestants are so precious. Plans after graduation: Play at McDonald's all day, become a princess.
What is your favorite subject in school: Recess, coloring, and lunch were popular answers. Me to ladies, me too.

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.

Congratulations to the 45 Junior High and Senior High All Region Band students! The students attended Region V All Region Band Clinic this weekend at Arkansas State University where they rehearsed music for 8 hours and then performed a concert on Saturday.
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
