Tdap Reminder for the 2012-2013 School Year

Parents, please note that your rising sixth-grader is required to have an updated Tdap vaccination before entering middle school. Tdap is available at your family doctor’s office or by appointment at the Guilford County Department of Public Health offices. Call 336-641-3245 to schedule an appointment. Offices are located at 1100 E. Wendover Ave., Greensboro and 501 E. Green Drive, High Point. For more information about Tdap, please visit the district’s website at http://www.gcsnc.com/parents/tdap.

GCS has a new reading program called Roadmap 2 Reading that challenges each student to read for at least 20 minutes outside of instructional time daily.

Keep track of time spent reading with Scholastic's free Reading Timer App.  It works with Android iPhone, iPod and iPad devices.
