Family & School Partnerships

Families and caregivers play a significant role in their children’s education at GCCS.

Family & School Partnerships

Inicio > Family & School Partnerships

We believe that our students learn best when their families work in partnership with us. Families and caregivers have many resources, strengths, and areas of expertise that enrich our instructional program at GCCS. Additionally, students whose families are involved in their education have been shown to perform better academically and socially.

Family Handbooks

Linked below are the Family Handbooks of each GCCS campus. These handbooks will inform you of GCCS policies and procedures that allow for smooth school operations:

Supporting Your GCCS Student at Home

Upon enrollment into either GCCS campus, each student’s family commits to supporting continued learning at home. We ask that our families:

Maintain open, respectful communication with GCCS teachers and staff
Monitor and assist with homework assignments
Read with your GCCS student for at least 15 minutes each day
Attend Exhibition Nights, Student-Led Conferences and Family Conferences
Attend school community events whenever possible
Encourage your GCCS student to follow school policies and procedures
Ensure your GCCS student attends school and is on time each day
Talk to your GCCS student each day about what they are learning

See our Get Involved page for more information.

Before & Aftercare Options

At the present time, neither GCCS campus houses before or after school programming. However, the Rochester area has several childcare organizations and programs to explore:

IMPORTANT:

RCSD transportation will only transport students to their childcare sites if those sites are within RCSD limits
GCCS is not able to provide care to students before 7:35am or after 2:45pm (after 12:45pm on Wednesdays due to early dismissal)
