I don’t get to go either!
Families,
As you see indoor events unfolding on camera both home and away please understand that every situation is different in every gym, with every agreement, with every team. Number of players, size of the bleachers, who is essential, opponents determinations. Please be understanding and supportive of kids, coaches, and officials. Remember when we were all saying we just want the kids to get to play. We all have the opportunity to make this a positive experience despite the restrictions and challenges. We are playing, the glass is half full!
I started this with I don’t get to go either because that is reality, I am not essential and I am watching on technology like most of us. Sometimes the tech will be great other times it won’t, but the kids are still playing.
Go Falcons! I am proud of every kid that is doing the best they can today!
Sincerely,
Jeremy Darnell

Families,
I am reporting 5 student positive COVID cases from January 21 through January 27. We had one Elementary case, one Middle School case, and 3 High School cases. As a result of those positive cases we have an additional 23 students who had to be quarantined for close contact. We also have one staff member that is currently quarantined. We will continue to notify those directly affected immediately and post weekly updates through this platform.
Today 80 GCMS staff members were given the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine provided by Ford County Public Health and Gibson Area Hospital. We are excited about this added layer of health and safety for our staff and the students they come in contact with.
Please continue to be vigilant in your actions to keep your children and their classmates safe.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Darnell - Superintendent
