Mental Health Action Day encourages everyone to take action for themselves, their loved ones, or their community. #MentalHealthMatters #GoGreen
If you have concerns about your or someone else's mental health, please get in touch with a medical professional or call 988 for a free, confidential conversation.
This morning GSCS IT detected attempted suspicious activity from accounts outside our network. As a preventative precaution, the IT department has reset all student passwords. School Administrators will work with teachers to make students aware of their new passwords. This may impact software applications such as SAVAS, I-Ready, Edgenuity and HMH (today only). No data has been accessed. The GSCS network has not been compromised. This is a preventative measure. All staff accounts are secured via two-factor authentication and do not require a password reset. The safety measures put in place by GSCS IT in the past year helped to minimize this type of outside activity.
Thank you,
Dear Griffin-Spalding Parents and Staff,
GSCS is aware of potential inclement weather in the state of Georgia. We are in contact with meteorologists and are actively monitoring the weather. Processes are in place to ensure safety. We will keep you updated (via GSCS App, e-mail, text message, etc) if weather changes impact school operations.
