The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) serves nearly 30 million children every school day. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. GCS celebrates #NSLW and the 2022 theme, Peace, Love & School Lunch.
Greenbrier County Schools reminds families that Monday, October 10, is a Professional Learning and Faculty Senate Day. Students do not report on October 10th. Thank you.
October is National Bullying Awareness Month. GCS students who experience or witness bullying can make an anonymous report to school officials using the STOPit web app at https://appweb.stopitsolutions.com/login or by downloading the STOPit app on any mobile device. Links to STOPit and incident reports are available on school and district websites and bookmarked on all student Chromebooks. Teachers and parents can assist students in submitting reports if they are too young to do so themselves. #StopBullying #BeKind
Please remember to join us at 5:30 this evening at EGMS for an informational forum on continuation of the school levy. Continuation of the levy is on the Nov. 8 election ballot.
Since 1993, officials around the world proclaim the third week in October as #CharacterCountsWeek. GCS students learn the importance of developing and demonstrating good character every day through Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.

Yellow jackets this time of year are everywhere. Especially around and under playground equipment. Know who's allergic. Know your basic first aid. Most of all be visually aware. Have a restful weekend everyone!

GCS reminds families that students who test positive for COVID-19 should remain in isolation for five full days from first symptoms, then wear a mask for days 6 - 10. Please contact your health care provider as any absence of 3 days or more will require a physician's note. Contacts do not have to quarantine, but if symptoms develop, testing is recommended. To request a free home covid test from our county office, please call 304-647- 6457.
