This week is Georgia Pre-K Week! Now in its 13th year, this weeklong annual event celebrates Georgia’s Pre-K Program, which has educated more than 2 million youth since it began over 30 years ago!
GSCS has 22 pre-k classes totaling 456 pre-k students. Throughout the week, GSCS Central Office Administrators, Board of Education Members & Partners In Education will be reading this year's featured book, Cheer: A Book to Celebrate Community by Uncle Ian Aurora, in all of our pre-k classes.
Pre-K Week raises awareness for the importance of quality early childhood education. Georgia’s Pre-K Program launched in 1992 as a small pilot program serving 750 four-year-old children in the state. Now, 31 years later, the lottery-funded program has laid a solid foundation for academic excellence and future success in the lives of more than 2 million children in Georgia.

Today, October 2, is National Custodial Worker Day and we want to recognize, celebrate and thank all of the amazing individuals who keep GSCS clean, maintained and operating smoothly! Our school custodians work hard and often behind the scenes or after hours. However, the results of their efforts are among the most critically important and highly recognizable things seen in our facilities. So, on National Custodial Workers Day, be sure to show your appreciation to the custodians who keep our schools and district clean!
