First Day of School

We are looking forward to a great school year!  Tuesday, August 11th, is the first day of school.  Our doors open at 7:30am and class begins promptly at 8:30am.  We encourage all students to arrive to school no later than 8:20am to provide enough time to be in class before the tardy bell rings at 8:30am.  The cafeteria begins serving breakfast at 7:45am.  All GCS students have the opportunity to receive breakfast without cost to families.  Continuing this year, Sevier is one of the majority of GCS schools that has qualified to serve lunch without cost to all students this year.  On the first day of school, sixth graders will gather in the gym after breakfast for a brief meeting.  Our 7th and 8th graders will report to their 1st period class after breakfast.  There will be staff members throughout the building to help guide students to their locations.

School dismisses at 3:25pm.  Please be patient with our car line procedures and bus transportation for the first days of school as these days tend to take longer.

Required Tdap Vaccination for Rising 7th Graders

Attention 6th Graders & Parents, the Department of Public Health (DPH) requires all rising 7th graders to have a Tdap ( tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccination upon beginning in August. Any rising 7th grader that does not have the Tdap vaccination (or are otherwise exempt) will be excluded from school until proof of vaccination is provided in the form of DPH Immunization Record.  Please plan ahead, and schedule this vaccination as soon as possible and turn in proof of the vaccination on the SC DPH Immunization record to the front office before the end of this school year.  Families that wait until summer to try and schedule an appointment may have a difficult time scheduling as this vaccination is required by all SC schools and the demand is very high during the summer.  Please call school RN Amy Snipes with questions at 355-8207.
