GCS Students and Families: On December 16, 2021, the Garrard County School Board updated the district COVID-19 plan. The full plan is available for review on the district's website. The primary change to the plan was to allow parents, students, and staff the ability to decide if they would wear a mask. As we return to classes, parents, students, and staff can opt to wear a mask or not to wear a mask. This option does not extend to buses or other district transportation. A federal mandate remains in place for masking on buses and other district transportation. Please note there are no changes to other protocols or expectations. Parents & guardians should continue to assess students prior to sending or bringing them to school. Students who are sick should remain home. Students who have been tested for COVID-19 and are awaiting a result should not attend school until a negative result has been received.

Camp Dick Robinson has created a NEW Facebook page and NEW Instagram account. Be sure to check this flyer out and follow the new accounts!
Camp Dick Robinson Elementary and Mr. Patrick Kennedy have created a new focus on student fitness and movement, coupled with a schedule that almost doubles students' fitness time each week!
Join us live on Facebook at 11:10AM to experience one of Mr. Kennedy's Fitness classes!
Mr. Kennedy explains, "The idea is to get them more moderate to high intensity exercise. This will allow for higher brain function and better mood which will help them throughout their day and week. "
In his classes, students not only participate in exercise each day, but refocus and check in with how they feel.
Please share this reminder to our students and families!
We are so encouraged to see the amount of items already donated at each school to benefit the Garrard Food Pantry! If you have not yet donated and would like to, there is still time! Each school has a designated employee and room number where items can be collected. We will be collecting items until this Friday, November 19th.
Thank you for supporting our community!
The staff members of GCS are thankful and grateful for all of our students and families that make our school district great!
As a part of Kindness Week at CDR, Mrs. Betsy Carrier, the 5th Grade Reading/Language Arts teacher, coordinated for her students to come and read with Mrs. McMullen’s kindergarteners and help them practice their letters and sight words!
