Supporting your child at home
Parenting school-age children comes with a lot of questions. This page includes trusted resources to support your child's social, emotional, and behavioral well-being at home and at school. Resources will be updated throughout the year based on topics we are addressing at GCS.
October: Responsibility, Digital Citizenship & Bullying Prevention
Throughout October, GCS students are learning about responsibility, accountability, and making safe and respectful choices both in person and online. October is also National Bullying Prevention Month, and GCS will celebrate Unity Day on October 21 by wearing orange and standing together for kindness, acceptance, inclusion, and bullying prevention.
This work builds on our September focus on belonging, community, and being an upstander.

Resources Connected to What We Teach
Continue the Conversation at Home
Throughout the year, students participate in classroom counseling lessons focused on skills such as belonging, feelings, coping, friendship, responsibility, digital citizenship, kindness, problem solving, mindfulness, and growth mindset. Check back here for family resources connected to what students are currently learning at school.
Sometimes children need more support than a resource at home can provide. Families are always welcome to contact the school counseling department with questions or concerns about their child's social or emotional well-being.
