GCT Patrons: We will be out of school for a flex day on Monday, April 8th, 2024. On this day, Greene County will be in the path of totality for the solar eclipse. All GCT campuses will be closed due to this event. Each GCT student has received a pair of solar eclipse glasses along with safety tips for viewing. Please be safe and we will see everyone back on Tuesday. As a reminder, the next scheduled flex day for GCT will be on Monday, April 15th, 2024.
Our 5th grade is off to the NASA presentation on the Solar Eclipse happening at ASU.
Congratulations to Mrs. Charity Andrews, Paragould Regional Chamber Educator of the Year! Mrs. Andrews is so deserving of this award for her work in our school district and our community. She is truly one of the best!! #StayGoldenEagles
Christa Hudson and Angie Greenway, both literacy teachers at GCT Intermediate, have completed the Boundless Learning Co-Teaching Project with Arkansas Department of Education and John Hopkins Learning. The project began in July with the initial training, continued throughout the year with online assignments and classroom practices, and ended with a performance rating from a project supervisor. Our teachers received high marks and praise for their participation in the project and the success of their students. Greene County Tech Intermediate is proud of Mrs. Hudson and Mrs. Greenway and their dedication to all of our students!

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.

Greene County Tech raised over $18,000 for Special Olympics during the Polar Plunge Challenge. Students and staff from each building helped raise money to assist our athletes participating in Special Olympics. Thank you to those who donated and to those who took the plunge!
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.
