Sense of Belonging Survey, 4th and 5th grade students only
Linked here, please find a preview copy of the student GCPS Sense of Belonging and Inclusion Survey that will be administered to students during school the week of April 6, 2026. The purpose of the survey is to collect the students' input on how our school is doing in creating a safe, welcoming, inclusive environment for all students and to get their feedback on how we can improve.

Attendance Updates
Every day of school counts!
Research from Attendance Matters shows that students who miss just 2 days a month (excused or unexcused) can quickly fall behind academically. Consistent attendance helps children build strong routines, stay connected to their teachers and peers, and feel confident in their learning.
As we approach spring break please help us keep your child on track by scheduling trips, appointments, and travel outside of the school day when possible. Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s success!
