Sonoraville High School construction students work hard in Mr. Dooley’s classroom!

Students were sanding and painting classroom tables to make improvements while also preparing for their upcoming mock SkillsUSA competition. These activities give students the chance to practice craftsmanship, problem-solving, attention to detail, and the hands on skills needed to succeed in the construction pathway.

Mr. Dooley is well known throughout Gordon County Schools for teaching and coaching numerous SkillsUSA state champions, and that tradition of excellence continues to set a strong standard for his students. We are excited to see how these Phoenix students continue to grow, compete, and succeed this year!

Sonoraville Elementary kindergarten students in Mrs. Jamie Mullinax’s class were building important vocabulary and reading skills.

Students worked on using pictures as context clues to help understand unknown words. By looking closely at the illustrations and thinking about what was happening in the text, students practiced strategies that will help them make meaning as they read.

These early literacy skills help students grow in confidence as they learn new vocabulary and become stronger readers.

Red Bud Elementary 4th grade students in Mrs. Franklin’s class were strengthening their reading and writing skills by learning how to identify a story’s theme.

Students had to explain the story's lesson or message by using context clues to establish the theme. By looking closely at details in the text, students practiced thinking deeply about what they read and supporting their ideas.

Gordon Central High School students in Mrs. Rainwater’s journalism class are learning how to tell stories with purpose and professionalism.

Students began class with a warmup focused on creating strong titles for news stories before moving into a discussion about interviewing. They worked on drafting interview questions and learning how to properly prepare for and conduct an interview.

These skills help students think like journalists as they learn to ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully, and share meaningful stories with others.

Ashworth Middle School band students are already making music and building strong foundations for the year.

New band director Ms. Stokesbary had the Dr. Beat metronome going as students worked on whole notes in the song they were learning. From keeping steady time to learning how each note fits into the music, students are developing skills that will help them grow as musicians.

We are excited to see all that Ms. Stokesbary and the AMS band students accomplish this year!

Gordon County Schools is seeking parent/guardian input as we plan the 2027-2028 school year calendar. We invite you to review the two proposed calendar options and select the one you prefer. The primary difference between Option 1 and Option 2 is the scheduled dates for Fall Break.

Your feedback is important and will help inform the calendar planning process for the 2027-2028 school year. The survey also includes an optional section about school and district communications. This portion is designed to help us better understand how families currently receive information, which communication methods and platforms they prefer, how many different applications they use for school-related communication, and whether families would support the district exploring a more centralized communication option.

Please note that the communications survey is completely optional. You do not have to complete the communications questions in order to submit your calendar selection.

Thank you for taking a few moments to share your feedback and help us plan for the 2027-2028 school year!
