We are excited for the great start we have had in 2022-2023, and as we prepare to come back tomorrow after our long weekend, we want to remind our families about our expectations for student conduct and associated policies that guide our work to maintain a safe learning environment that is free from disruption at all times.
Our School Board approved policy JFC-R2 in August with particular attention to issues that distract from the experience of our teachers, students, and staff: fighting, slurs, cell phone use, and tobacco/vaping products. Please review this policy at http://go.boarddocs.com/va/gcpsva/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=CHEKPY4FF092 with your student and take a look at our expectations video at https://youtu.be/VqtUzagyoDc for more information.
Remember, fighting is not tolerated at any time and will result in a 10 day out of school suspension and referral to law enforcement on the first offense. Conduct violations involving the use of slurs or the use or possession of vape or nicotine products will result in 3 days in school suspension first offense, and cell phone use is prohibited at the middle school and is permitted only during non-instructional time at GHS.
Our students and families have a variety of resources available to them at all times to inform us of issues that may result in conduct violations, and it is essential that our staff is aware of situations so that we can provide support and resources to ideally resolve issues without suspension. However, it is the responsibility of our students and families to communicate with us-please reach out to your principal or counselor, use our anonymous tip line at https://glnd-va.safeschoolsalert.com/ to submit your concern, or contact our central office at 804-556-5630 to have your concern directed appropriately as soon as possible.
Our job is to maximize your child's potential, and to do so requires a learning environment that is free from disruption for all students. Please contact your child's school with any questions or concerns, and thank you for your support.
If you have not already done so, be sure to download our very own GCPS App from Google Play or the App Store. Stay up to date on events, announcements, and reminders. Personalize your notification preferences like you do on any other app. Download today!
Love this anti-bullying poster! Great message and a great artist!
Today seriously rocked in Goochland County Public Schools! Students, teachers, and administrators were not only dressed as rockstars but they were also rocking while learning all day.
These Rock Stars earned a Team ROAR award for their kindness, encouraging each other, and their willingness to learn new things! ROCK ON!
These kiddos filled lots of buckets this week! Congratulations! Kindness is always the right choice!
