Strategic Planning Survey Link: https://forms.office.com/r/MpdZUzans2
Gordon County Schools invites you to participate in our school district Strategic Planning Survey, and we greatly appreciate your feedback as we work to shape the future of our schools. Your input plays a crucial role in helping us create positive outcomes for our students and community.
The Strategic Planning Survey is a key part of our process to develop a comprehensive roadmap for guiding Gordon County Schools from 2026 to 2030. This survey allows us to hear directly from community members, parents, staff, and students about their perspectives, priorities, and hopes for our school system. By gathering this feedback, we aim to understand the community’s vision for our schools and identify areas for growth and improvement.
The insights from the survey will directly influence the new strategic plan, which will set goals and outline initiatives that promote academic excellence, enhance student well-being, support staff development, and strengthen community partnerships. Ultimately, this survey empowers the community to play an active role in shaping the future of Gordon County Schools, ensuring that we continue providing the best possible educational experiences for all our students.
You can complete the survey by visiting this link: https://forms.office.com/r/MpdZUzans2

Fairmount Parents,
Students will be allowed to wear their costumes to school on Thursday, October 31st. Your child’s safety is always our first concern here at Fairmount. We ask that you guide their selection of costumes to allow them to comfortably work and learn throughout the day, as well as be able to independently use the restroom. Any items that encourage violence or could be scary to other children are inappropriate for children at school. All accessories to costumes should be left at home. We are not responsible for lost or damaged items. Students are not allowed to wear full-faced masks. Classes will enjoy a snack and craft during the school day. This is for the student only. Thank you for your cooperation in making this a fun and safe day at school. We are looking forward to an enjoyable day!
