Parent Square
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.
Teacher Communication
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.
The PHS Advisement Program offers additional academic support and mentoring for our students. If you missed the informational video about this class on the digital curriculum night, you can access it here:
Attendance Tip of the Week
Please Be on Time
Parents will now receive phone calls and messages when their students are absent or tardy to their classes. Please use your ParentVue app to see what specific classes your student missed. The phone calls, messages, and ParentVue app are great tools to keep parents in the loop regarding their child’s attendance. As always, please remember school starts promptly at 7:15 am and students need to be on a campus a few minutes early to allow time to travel to their first period class and be on time.
ASVAB Career Exploration Program
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.
