Gordon County Schools is excited to welcome students, families, and staff back for the first day of school on Friday, August 8, 2025! As we gear up for another year of learning and growth, we encourage everyone to check out our Back-to-School Guide. This helpful resource includes important information about enrollment, school supply lists, transportation, the academic calendar, and much more.

If your child will need bus transportation this fall and is either new to the district, has recently moved, or is enrolling in Pre-K, please take a moment to complete our transportation survey. This will help our Transportation Department prepare more efficiently for the 2025–2027 school years. Pre-K families can complete their survey at https://forms.office.com/r/DccfhtLVci, and K-12 families can complete theirs at https://forms.office.com/r/EK89UGR4MH.
We also value the voices of our families and invite you to share your thoughts on how we can continue to improve and uphold excellence in our schools. Please take a few minutes to complete our family feedback survey at https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/277370/p3228.
We look forward to a fantastic school year ahead and can’t wait to see our students back in the classroom on August 8!
