5th Grade Parents:

Please find a preview copy of the GCPS Sense of Belonging and Inclusion Survey HERE. This survey will be administered during school hours to students in grades 5-12 in the window of November 6-17.

The purpose of the survey is to provide input on how GCPS is doing towards meeting our annual School Board Equity Goals established per policy JFHB/GBAA so that we can create an even better experience for all of our students. Any parent wishing to opt their child out of taking this survey may do so by sending an email or written letter to James B. Hopkins, Principal (jhopkins@glnd.k12.va.us).

• Tuesday November 7th: Remote learning day (school closed). Information from teachers will be provided closer to the date.

Please notify the office about transportation changes via email at: beseagles@glnd.k12.va.us.

If you have daily transportation needs, please make sure you provide changes at the beginning of each week for the entire week. This allows staff time to communicate all necessary changes and avoids confusion when a call is not received. We appreciate your support.

Parents who wish to chaperone a field trip or volunteer regularly in our school must submit to a background check every 2 years using the BIB portal.The process is completely electronic. If you are having problems with the system, contact Demetra Harris at dharris@glnd.k12.va.us.
