Gordon County families, we have bus registration survey forms to fill out for the following students:
* New students enrolling to the school district for the first time
* Families who have recently moved residences within our school district
* 2026-2027 Pre-K student
If your child needs transportation this fall and is new, recently moved, or enrolling into Pre-K, please take a moment to fill out our survey to help the Transportation Department prepare for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year.
It's important that you carefully read and agree to the policies and procedures outlined in the survey regarding bus transportation. Please note that rising Pre-K students have a different survey than Kindergarten - 12th grade students.

Tomorrow, May 22, is the last day of school at Tolbert Elementary!
Please remember that Friday is an Early Release Day for all Gordon County Schools students. Elementary students will dismiss at 11:30 a.m. Please plan accordingly for car-rider and bus-stop pick-ups. ASP will operate as normal.
Please send any transportation changes or notes directly to your child’s teacher tomorrow morning.
Due to the early release schedule and parking limitations at the 5th-grade graduation, grade-level class snacks will be available only to students and staff. We appreciate your understanding as we work to make the last day special for all students.
As we close out another wonderful school year, we want to thank our students, families, teachers, and staff for an incredible year of learning and growth. We are so proud of our students and all they have accomplished this year.
We would also like to congratulate our fifth-grade students as they prepare for their transition to middle school. We wish them continued success and happiness as they begin this exciting new chapter!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership throughout the year. We wish all of our families a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer break.
Happy Summer from all of us at Tolbert Elementary — Go Warriors!

Led by Lieutenant Brian Brannon of the Gordon County Sheriff’s Department, the ceremony also included remarks from Major Ritchie Harris and Deputy Erik Ochoa, who shared the importance of the program and the impact it has on students across Gordon County Schools. Principal Dr. Rebecca Owen thanked the students for their dedication to the program and our partners at the Sheriff's Department for building strong relationships with these students throughout the year.
C.H.A.M.P.S. stands for Choosing Healthy Activities and Methods Promoting Safety. The program was developed by the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association and is designed to help fifth grade students build valuable life skills, make informed decisions, and contribute positively to their schools and communities. Gordon County Schools launched the program in partnership with the Gordon County Sheriff’s Department, and it continues to support students through lessons on topics such as internet safety, social media, bullying, vaping, alcohol, drug awareness, peer pressure, choices and consequences, and personal safety.
We are proud of our Tolbert Elementary students for their hard work and grateful to Gordon County Sheriff Mitch Ralston and the Gordon County Sheriff’s Department for investing in our students through this meaningful program.
