Dr. K. here with a couple things...
1. Thank you everyone with your continued flexibility, as we are in uncharted territory.
2. We have amazing students! I couldn’t be more proud of them.
3. We have an amazing staff who go above and beyond!
4. Huge shout out to our maintenance staff for all their hard work this summer. Our buildings look incredible!
Since we are not able to have an open house at this time, I’m sharing some pictures of the remodel. Please note, the same flooring, paint, and lighting is the same throughout both buildings. Our remodeling in both buildings is at about 95% completion with some small things still needing to be addressed. However, I will say our buildings sure do clean up nice! I can’t wait for the time for our community to get a chance to see it in person.
We just received word our Fresh Fruit and Vegetables grant was approved for the elementary school this year. Thank you, Mrs. Fuller for submitting this for us.
Happy Friday!
It is House Shirt Color Day! Wear your House shirt/color!
Parents of elementary students, please note that we need you to arrive no earlier than 8:10 unless you signed up for Early Bird this year. You can sign up with Mrs. Fuller but space is limited due to social distancing requirements. We will have you wait outside if you did not register for Early Bird and arrive before 8:10. Thanks for your help!
We had a great first day yesterday! Today will be even better! Remember to check folders, Reminds, and especially the website for information. Call us with questions you might have!
Important Information for Families of Elementary Students:
Good evening GHS students and parents. We are a little over 24 hours before the first day of school. Teachers and administrators are working to kick off the 2020-2021 school year on the right foot. Here are a few points to keep in mind:
1. All students grade 7-12 will meet at 8:30 for class meetings. Students will get planners, Chromebooks, and go over some new procedures at the HS. 7th grade students will meet in Rm 8, 8th grade in Rm 10, 9th grade in Rm 1, 10th grade in the music room, 11th grade in Rm 11b, and 12th grade in Rm 13.
2. There will be no opens for 10-12 on Thursday and Friday. This allows us 2 days to ensure schedules are accurate. Those students will have the opportunity to use our new commons area.
3. We will enter and exit the HS in the following way. Buses will drop off and pick up at the East door (the old main door) and everyone else, walkers, bike riders, drivers, and those being dropped off by parents, will enter and exit by the west door.
Our entire staff is excited for the new year and can’t wait to see everyone on Thursday. Have a phenomenal night, Mr. Dangel
Elementary Meet & Greet Zooms are tomorrow! No Open House this year. Pop in to hear from your child’s teacher for a brief time. Principal Zoom at the end for Q&A if you are interested. Hope to see you!
Part of Garrison Public Schools Smart Restart plan includes a checklist for families to do before sending their student(s) to school. We are grateful for all of our families' help as we ensure a safe environment for our students. Please assist us in following these requirements.
Volleyball information. Note the location and time has changed for JH volleyball.
We are excited to have our House groups in our schools again this year! We plan to have House Color Days each Wednesday, and would like our K-12 students and staff to dress in House shirts/colors on August 21. We provided the first House shirt to our students last year, and will give our new students this year their first shirt as well! Families who are interested in purchasing a new or multiple House shirts for their students may do so from the Ron Clark Academy Store at https://store.ronclarkacademy.com/collections/tshirts.
Reminders...
All students need at least three masks as part of their school supplies for this school year and must have them at school. Social distancing rules will be adhered to following guidance from the CDC. Any person coming to our schools will be required to wear a mask other than students and staff being encouraged to wear them. For all activities, all viewers will be required to wear a mask. School will start on August 20, which is a change noted previously. Lastly, all BSN clothing orders need to be submitted by August 17.
On a complete different not.... please bear in mind we are all adapting to these changes and change is also happening frequently. We all need to continue to be flexible and know there are many variables being our control. This will be a great year!

This is Mrs. Angela Coble and she is our new math teacher at the high school. She moved to North Dakota from New Mexico; however, she calls South Carolina home. The military moved our family to Minot, but Garrison is where we wanted to settle. They enjoy the small town atmosphere. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, watching The Office, and playing Pokémon Go (yes, she STILL plays). Please make Mrs. Coble feel welcome.
Elementary Families: We didn’t activate parent access on Powerschool for elementary students yet, so if you are getting an error screen when logging in, it isn’t your error. We had so many new students register and still haven’t heard from some if they are returning, so it will take at least until Monday to get class lists ready for everyone to see for sure. (We don’t want people to think it is one teacher and then have it change due to someone not returning and have unequal class sizes.) Thanks for your understanding and patience!
