The GCPS District website has a new look!

The new and improved website has a cleaner design, and prioritizes the most frequently used content from the old site.

We know that the new website will take some time to get used to, so we put together "GCPS: Get to Know Our New Site" - https://www.smore.com/jzv30-gcps-website-orientation .

This will give you pointers on how to navigate the new site, and point you in the direction of our most viewed pages.

Join us as we celebrate Read Across America Week March 4-8, 2024. The annual event is part of Read Across America, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association.
