Welcome to the new GC website!

The new district and school websites, powered by ParentSquare’s Smart Sites, feature improved navigation, a streamlined layout consistent across all sites, and a user-friendly design to better serve our entire community. They also seamlessly integrate with ParentSquare, the district’s communication platform.

Although the new website has a redesigned look, most of the website components and menus are the same!

Community School Model

The Community School Model is a transformative approach to education that integrates academic, health and social services, youth and community development, and community engagement. The goal is to improve student learning, build stronger school connections, and create healthier communities. This model emphasizes the collaboration between schools, families, and community resources to support the holistic development of students. Key components include extended learning opportunities, family engagement, health and social services, and community partnerships.

Neil Armstrong Elementary School piloted the model during the 2024-25 school year.
