National School Counseling Week 2026 (#NSCW26) is Feb. 2-6, 2026, to celebrate the unique contributions of school counselors. The theme this year is School Counselors Amplify Student Success. Thank you, GSCS School Counselors, for all you do to amplify the success of our students!

Mark your calendars! GSCS Pre-K Registration for the 2026-27 school year will be held February 26-March 20, 2026. For required documents and online registration, visit https://www.gscs.org/o/gscss/page/central-registration

Griffin-Spalding County Schools (GSCS) will follow normal operations and the normal schedule tomorrow, Monday, February 2, 2026. Morning temperatures will be cold, so be sure to dress students warmly and limit their time outside. Parents may use the transportation app to track their student's bus (using their student ID to login - same as computer and lunch number). Visit www.gscs.org/page/transportation to download the "My Ride K-12 App".

All GSCS athletic and extracurricular activities for this weekend, Jan. 31- Feb. 1, are cancelled due to the threat of potential winter weather.

Help Shape the Future of CTAE! GSCS is reviewing Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) curriculum options for the 26–27 school year, and we want to hear from you. Families and community members are encouraged to review the materials and provide feedback to help us select high-quality, standards-aligned resources for our students. Visit our website to review the options and share your thoughts. https://sites.google.com/gscs.org/ctaecurriculumreview/home

Dear GSCS Students, Families and Staff,
Some rumors, flyers and social media posts have been circulating regarding an effort to stage a walkout at one or more of our high school campuses. This is not a safe course of action. While Griffin-Spalding County Schools (GSCS) believes in First Amendment rights and personal expression in a peaceful way, we cannot allow a walkout. Our top priority is the safety and security of our students. If students exit the school building, it will disrupt instructional time, and we will not be able to ensure their safety.
Students who wish to express their views on national issues should do so in a way that does not compromise their safety, impact the instructional day or interrupt school operations. Disruption of school operations is against the student code of conduct and may result in disciplinary consequences. Also, any class time missed will not be excused. We acknowledge the value of civic engagement but recommend emailing or calling your congressman or finding other ways to express your beliefs outside of school hours and off school property. Our high school administrative teams are happy to work with student leaders to help them find safe and responsible ways to express themselves.
Parents, please discuss this matter with your students. Parents, students and staff, thank you for helping us maintain safe learning environments in our schools.
Sincerely,
Dr. Donald Warren
GSCS Superintendent
