GCPS READING NIGHT UPDATE!
Due to the weather the football game time has been moved up to 6:00 pm. We will meet at the far scoreboard at 5:45 for anyone who can meet to walk in our "Reading Parade." Even if you can't make it that early, I hope you can still come out to cheer on the Bulldogs and get your cotton candy!
A parent or guardian must attend the game with each student. Family and friends can purchase tickets for $8.00 on-line at https://gofan.co/app/school/VA7798 or pay cash at the gate.
Tomorrow, September 15th, is a student holiday and a teacher professional learning day. See our calendars for this school year and future school years at: https://www.goochlandschools.org/page/calendars

Good morning, GCPS Families!
Registration for the Goochland County Public Schools Fall intersession is now open until Monday, September 25th! An intersession is an opt-in, multi-day learning experience that combines research, creativity, and fun with no cost to families. Each intersession will provide a unique learning opportunity that merges student interest and teacher passion. From Be a Disney Imagineer to Just-in-Time SAT Prep, students will have the chance to explore a wide range of topics.
Intersession will run Monday-Friday, October 16-20, 2023 from 8:00 - 2:30 at Goochland Elementary School (elementary sessions) and 9:00 - 3:30 at the Secondary Complex (secondary sessions). GCPS will provide student transportation to and from designated stops across the county at no cost and breakfast and lunch for purchase. Transportation will only be provided at the beginning and end of a full day of intersessions. Students attending a half day intersession will need to make arrangements for mid-day transportation.
Registration is based on the student’s current grade level. Please understand that availability of these sessions is contingent on enrollment numbers. Sessions may not be offered if enrollment is low, so we encourage all to register soon! In the event that a course reaches student capacity, students will be added to a waitlist automatically.
