Upcoming events and important dates for Gouge Primary.


Reminder: Tomorrow is Beach Day!

Tomorrow is Pajama Day, and this week is Bus Ridership Week! All absence notes need to be turned in to Faith Garland in the front office. You may also email her at faithgarland@mhslive.net. Any changes in transportation for your student need to go through the front office, not Class Dojo, so please call the office.

Just a reminder that next Friday is an Early Release Day!


Next week, September 23-27, is School Bus Ridership Week across school districts in North Carolina. The funding that we get for transportation is dependent on the number of students who ride a school bus during this week. Even if your child rides the bus occasionally, we ask that they please ride at least one day next week.


Homecoming 2024 GPS Spirit Week will be Monday, 9/23, through Friday, 9/27. Please remember that all school rules apply.


We will be trying a new photography company this year as well as finishing out our time with LifeTouch. Our first set of fall pictures will be this Monday, September 16th with TPS Photography. Then on October 7th will have fall pictures with LifeTouch. No pre-payment is required for this Monday.


Are you interested in becoming a bus driver? Mitchell County Schools will host bus driver training next week!
