Beginning July 18, 2023 GCPS adopted a new form of school-to-home communication called ParentSquare. This provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to receive and send information, such as:

• Weather-related closings & delays
• School and class information
• Share pictures and files
• See calendar items
• Upcoming class activities
• Communicate with teachers

If you have questions about confirming your account access, please send an email to PSQHelp@gcpsk12.org.

Teachers now have individual phone numbers through Microsoft Teams that they can use to communicate with families.

The phone numbers all have a 943 Area Code, which may appear as “Potential Spam” through some of the mobile phone carriers.
We want to make you aware of this in case you receive a call from one of our teachers from a number starting with 943.

Students may only be released to the parent/guardian on file, or to those listed in their emergency contact list.

You can update your emergency contact list on the Parent Portal.

The Attendance Office is where you can pick up your ADAP certificate and your Certificate of Enrollment after you order them on MyPaymentsPlus.

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB, is an optional aptitude test offered to our juniors and seniors each year. This test is designed to help you discover special skills and potential abilities you may have.

What does the future hold for you?

What types of careers match your interests, skills, and values?

What kind of education do you need to enter an occupation?

These are all important questions, and you can begin taking steps now to find the career that's right for you. Your test results, along with an exploration guide, will help you explore careers and plan your future.

Although the Department of Defense administers this test, you are under no obligation to the military, in any way, to take the ASVAB.

Students will be required to sign up to take the test.
