GSCS needs your input on "What factors need to be considered when deciding the school calendars for the next two school years?". To gather your feedback, we're using a tool called ThoughtExchange. All of our voices matter, so your participation is crucial and valued.

You'll be asked to respond to one open-ended question, consider and assign stars to some of the ideas shared by others (20 to 30 is ideal), and learn what's important to the group.
Your thoughts and stars are confidential. You can come back as often as you'd like to participate and, in fact, we ask that you do come back to star some of the new ideas shared since you first participated. The ratings will help us understand the most important areas to focus on.
Thank you in advance for your help and input.
We're celebrating #AmericanEducationWeek! Let’s celebrate public education and honor the educators ensuring that every student receives a quality education. Thank you to the GSCS educators & school staff who have dedicated themselves to preparing the next generation for the future! #AEW2023

These educators were also thanked for being the "best of the best" and representing their school on the superintendent's advisory council with a gift. Thank you to our Partner In Education, The Emerald Chandelier, for hosting this fun event.
