Come out to join us for Math Night at KRMS October 24, 2024 from 4:30pm - 6:30pm! Our theme will be "The Golden Ratio in Music and Math" with performances from our Chorus and Band.

Griffin Spalding School System will have Fall Break October 14-18. School breaks are a time that our scholars look forward to all year round. Breaks are a time when scholars can relax, recuperate, and take time to enjoy their families. These breaks also give our scholars a chance to academically reset.

Title I, Part A requires that all schools receiving Title I, Part A funds must bring parents and families together for a parent meeting to inform participating parents about the school's Title I program and their right to be involved. This meeting was held within the first 45 days of the new school year in GSCS.

In compliance with the requirements of Every Student Succeeds Act, the Griffin-Spalding County School System would like to inform you that you may request information about the professional qualifications of your student’s teacher(s) and/or paraprofessional(s).

The following information may be requested:

Whether your child's teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction

Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived

Whether the teacher is teaching in the field of discipline of the certification of the teacher.

Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.

Please take a moment to complete the parent survey.
