We are preparing for District Assessment Interim season. Students enrolled in the courses below will take a District Assessment Interim (midterm) for 5% of their grade.

District Assessments are developed to align to the Academic, Knowledge, and Skills (AKS) and GCPS instructional calendars in the areas of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. These assessments allow students to demonstrate what they know, understand, and are able to do and help teachers determine whether students are performing as expected or need additional support to be successful.

District Assessment Interim Testing Schedule:

• 9th and 11th grade Language Arts: Wednesday, March 6th
• Algebra, Geometry, Accelerated Geometry, and Advanced Algebra: Thursday, March 7th
• Biology, Chemistry, and Physics: Monday, March 11th
• World History and U.S. History: Tuesday, March 12th

The District Assessment Interims will be given online. Student must bring their Chromebook (charged) and a charger.

Please be sure to attend school for these testing days.

Click here for information on Assessment dates.

If your student has a blue registration sheet, we ask that they please turn that into their advisement teacher or to the Curriculum Office.

At this time the Curriculum Office is working through all course change requests, and this could take up to two to three weeks. Students can see their course requests in StudentVue using either the app or eCLASS. A student can see if a change request has been approved or made or not approved by viewing their course requests. For those requests not approved, it is likely due to the student not performing highly at the current level and therefore does not warrant a move to a higher level or a student lacks a required pre-requisite to be in the requested course. Again, we are currently working on these course change requests and will send out something once these are completed.

1. Safety

2. Environmental Benefits

3. Traffic Congestion Reduction

4. Cost-Effective

5. Promotes Independence & Responsibility

6.Routine and Time Management

Overall, school buses are practical, safe, and an environmentally friendly transportation option. By ensuring Panthers arrive at school safely and on time, they play a vital role in supporting the education system. Riding the bus is an excellent way for your panther to be on time for school.

Bus stops are determined by the address that is on file with the school. You will only be able to ride the bus that is assigned to you at your address unless you have applied for a buss pass.

For transportation questions, please see the GCPS Transportation page.

On the Parent Portal select the student you want to view:

• Click on "ParentVue"
• Click on "Student information"
• There you will find the address of the assigned bus stop, the bus number for the AM and PM routes, and the estimated time of pickup and arrival

• Click on "Student information"
• Click "Additional Information"
• There you will find the address of the assigned bus stop, the bus number for the AM and PM routes, and the estimated time of pickup and arrival

To park on campus you must have already purchased a parking pass, have your vehicle registered with the school, and have your parking sticker visible in your car window. If you don't have a parking pass, you should not be parking on campus, you will be subject to being ticketed or towed.
