We are also hosting the Jr. High Basketball District Tournament on our main campus that evening. Please be careful navigating the main campus as traffic will be congested and parking lots will be crowded. We look forward to seeing you at the conferences and GO TECH!
Tonight, Friday, 2/9/24, from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm, we will have a school dance for our 7th-grade students. Drop-offs will be around the back of the school just like the afternoon carline. Students must have pre-purchased tickets to get into the dance. They can be purchased until 3:00 pm today. Drop-offs will start at 5:50 pm. Pick-ups will be in front of the Middle School. Parents will need to enter on the east side of the main campus between the Jr. High and Bus Garage. See the attached photo for PICK UP traffic pattern. For safety reasons, do not park in the Middle School parking lot to get your student(s). Stay in a single row in front of the Middle School. Please pull up to the administrator in front of the school to pick up your student(s).
Congratulations to the January Teacher of the Month and Support Staff of the Month.

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.

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.
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.
