Principals' Message


Back to School Night Materials

 

Dear GBW Families,

 

Thank you for coming out last night to meet your teachers, learn about our curriculum, and to partner with the GBW staff to ensure we create an amazing school year for our children. Please see the attached link which contains our Principals’ Back to School Night presentation as well as the PTA presentation outlining the budget and activities for 2026-2027.

 

Thanks again everyone- 2026-2027…Let’s Go!

 

Mr.  Blount and Mrs. Odom

 


New Visitor Management System


Our school now uses the Raptor Visitor Management System to improve safety and make visitor check-in easier and faster. The system checks visitors against the sex offender registry.

Check-in at the front office will remain the same. Visitors may also download the RaptorSafe App and create a Raptor Passport to pre-verify their information and receive a QR code for faster check-in.

For questions or assistance, please contact the front office. Thank you for helping us keep our school safe.
