GCTSD will be using some community bus stops this afternoon due to flooding. Please be watching for further communication regarding the buses that will be impacted.
We understand that parents may need to check out their child early today due to flooding/safety concerns.
GCTSD will be in session Monday, January 13th, with modified morning bus routes. Please see attachment. We will evaluate these routes tomorrow to determine if the afternoon bus routes will also be modified and send out that communication as soon as we make a determination. Be on the lookout in the morning for icy patches from potential refreezing.
GCTSD will be closed Friday, January 10th, due to inclement weather conditions. This day is built into the calendar and will not need to be made up. Be safe and enjoy the snow.
GCT would like to give a huge shout out to Danny and Gail Ford, Glen Sain Motors, for their generous donation to our backpack program. Thank you to Glen Sain for your continued support of Greene County Tech School District.

GCT Patrons,
Last spring, Arkansas students in grades 3-10 took a new state test called ATLAS. This new test is now aligned to the current Arkansas grade level standards. The results are available from the state and accessible to parents via the ATLAS Students and Families Portal. https://atlasportal.org/families.html
For the current school year, students in grades K-3 have taken screener tests. These results are NOT yet available from the state, but will be accessible to parents very soon via the ATLAS Students and Families Portal. https://atlasportal.org/families.html
When you access the portal, you will use your child's 6-digit access code to obtain information on your child's test data. This code was sent home today with your child and will also be available at parent/teacher conferences. If you are unable to attend parent/teacher conferences, your child's report card and access code will be sent home next Tuesday, October 22nd.
Attached is the performance level descriptors for grades 3-10 and the K-3 screener descriptors.

GCT Patrons: We had a middle school student make some concerning statements and gestures in class today. At no point was anyone in harm's way. We are following our investigative protocol. This was a push notification and a Facebook post. If you did not get the push, please make sure your app is up to date.
GCT Patrons,
This morning we had two reports I wanted to make you aware of:
1. We had a report of gunshots near the Primary school. We notified our SRO. He swiftly investigated and quickly reported that someone was shooting squirrels. All is clear
2. We had a JH student show us a screenshot of a generic post with language referencing pulling a fire alarm, etc. We notified our SRO and the GCSO investigated. They discovered the origin of the post and determined it was unrelated to our school district. All is clear.
We are doing some app maintenance so please keep your techconnect app updated as we will continue to send out test push notifications.
