The GSCS Back to School Celebration brought all 1400+ staff together for a high-energy, inspirational, motivational kick-off to the 2023-24 school year! Student leaders welcomed the staff and were emcees for the event. Staff learned and laughed with Innovative Teaching, Learning and Leadership Consultant and Author George Couros, who was the keynote speaker. Staff were also entertained by the Atlanta Braves Heavy Hitters Drum Line and Educator and Comedian J. Cornelius George. A lot of staff recognition occurred with the naming of the 2023 Classified Employees of the Year, Counselor of the Year and Media Specialist of the Year. The 2023-24 Teachers of the Year were celebrated and the District Teacher of the Year was revealed and surprised with a new car for a year, thanks to the district's partnership with Cronic Nissan! Partners In Education Food Depot, the City of Griffin and Spalding County donated gift cards and gift baskets to 20 lucky staff members. Thank you to all community partners who helped make this event great, especially Oak Hill Church for their generosity, hospitality and support!

We have almost made it to the end of the year! With that being said, we know many families will be attending various classroom celebrations next week.
If you have NOT had your driver's license scanned by our front office staff THIS SCHOOL YEAR (ex: eating lunch with your student, visiting the building during school hours---this does not include events outside of normal school hours), you will need to have this completed before joining the celebration.
If you are not sure if you had your license scanned, you can call the front office and check. If you have not, please come by the office to have this done. It will only take a few moments. The line for scanning IDs on the day of the celebrations can get very long, which may result in you being late or missing the classroom celebration.
Thank you, and we look forward to all the excitement that next week will bring!
Any graduating senior that attended Jackson Road Elementary, please come and join us for your Elementary School Alumni Senior Walk on May 22nd!
Graduating seniors will walk the halls in their cap and gowns while the students cheer and high five the graduates. Seniors will meet at 12:30pm in the front office of JRE.
We are so proud of the GSCS Class of 2023!!!
