Parent Survey
Dear Parents and Guardians,
A survey has been made available to all parents and guardians of Greenville County School students, and your feedback is important. Student, teacher, and parent/guardian opinion surveys have been designed to measure perceptions of:
- Home and school relations
- School learning environments
- School social and physical environments
Anonymous feedback received in these surveys provides valuable information to principals, teachers, parents, school improvement councils, and community groups, in their efforts to identify areas of improvement.
Parents and guardians may access the School Climate survey via their Backpack for Parents on the My Students page from now until Friday, April 10th. One survey per each of your K4-12th grade GCS students may be completed.
Thank you for your willingness to participate!

Erin's Law
In 2014 the South Carolina Legislation passed Erin’s Law, as part of Health and Safety Education. The purpose of the law is to ensure that all students Pre-Kindergarten through High School receive this prevention instruction during the academic school year. The intent of the law is to equip students with the knowledge and skills to remain safe from sexual assault and how to make a report if an assault occurs.
Please review this Erin's Law letter for more details.
If you have any further questions after you have previewed the materials please contact your child’s counselor, either Ms. Greene (Kindergarten through 2nd grade students) or Mrs. Crouch (3rd through 5th grade students).

Electronic Policy:
During state (i.e., CogAT/Iowa, SC READY, EOCEP, Career Readiness Assessment, College Ready Assessments, and ACCESS) and district (i.e., MAP Growth) testing programs, students, test administrators (TAs)/proctors, and monitors are strictly prohibited from using or accessing personal electronic devices (e.g., cell phones, smartwatches, smart glasses, wireless earbuds, etc.) during active test sessions. Only district-owned devices shall be used for testing purposes (GCS Board Policy JCDA, GCS Administrative Rule JCDA, and GCS Administrative Rule EFE). Test security procedures are required to be in place throughout testing. Adherence to these protocols and ensuring staff and students are fully aware and prepared for what to expect on test day are paramount to protecting the integrity of our testing programs and upholding the validity of student results.
