We’re incredibly proud of the ongoing commitment to learning and excellence shown by our amazing Gordon County Schools faculty and staff! Let’s celebrate recent achievements in advanced degrees, certifications, and endorsements across our schools.
From earning master's degrees to gaining specialized endorsements and certifications, our extraordinary educators are continuously growing to better serve our students and community.
Join us in congratulating these individuals for their hard work and dedication! #CelebratingGrowthGCS #ExtraordinaryGCS #GordonCountySchools
As a new school year kicks off, we’re setting
our sights on what matters most: The Big 3.
Look for these in your home this month as we
encourage each other to treat others right,
make smart decisions, and maximize your

We hope your child came home smiling and excited for another awesome year
because we sure had a great day!
A big shoutout to all our families for your patience with buses and the car rider line. The first day always brings a few bumps, but we’re smoothing things out quickly—and your support helps more than you know!
A few reminders to keep dismissal running smoothly this week:
1. Car Rider Tags are a must!
All cars must have the official Belwood car rider tag clearly displayed in the window the entire time you’re in line.
If you need a car rider tag, stop by the office tomorrow, and our amazing front office team will help you out!
2. Transportation changes—We must have a written note.
We can’t accept Class DOJO messages or emails.
If your child will go home a different way than they did Friday, please send in a note on Monday.
3. Paperwork from Open House:
Please complete and return those beginning-of-year forms as soon as possible.
We hope you enjoyed a weekend full of rest and fun—we are ready to Build Exceptional Students this year!
