If you have not yet completed the 2027-2028 School Calendar Survey, please take a few moments to share your preference between Option 1 and Option 2. The primary difference between the two proposed calendars is the timing of Fall Break.

The survey also includes an optional section about school and district communications. These questions will help us better understand how you receive information, which communication tools you prefer, and whether there is interest in exploring a more centralized approach to communication.

The communications portion is completely optional and is not required in order to submit your calendar selection.

The survey closes September 1. Please submit your response using this link: https://forms.gle/wM3v9A7N4SfNDoRg6

Thank you for taking a few moments to provide your feedback!

Sonoraville High School construction students work hard in Mr. Dooley’s classroom!

Students were sanding and painting classroom tables to make improvements while also preparing for their upcoming mock SkillsUSA competition. These activities give students the chance to practice craftsmanship, problem-solving, attention to detail, and the hands on skills needed to succeed in the construction pathway.

Mr. Dooley is well known throughout Gordon County Schools for teaching and coaching numerous SkillsUSA state champions, and that tradition of excellence continues to set a strong standard for his students. We are excited to see how these Phoenix students continue to grow, compete, and succeed this year!

Backpack Buddy Program!

At Gordon County Schools, we know that providing for your family can sometimes be challenging. The Backpack Buddy Program is designed to help families stretch their food budgets by sending home shelf stable snacks each Friday.

Each school age child enrolled in the program will receive a small bag of food items to take home in their backpack. These snacks are generously donated by local churches, and participating churches only receive the total number of bags needed; they do not receive any family names or identifying information.
If your family would like to participate in the Backpack Buddy Bag program, please fill out the link below.
