At Gulf Shores City Schools, every school day matters. To help support student success and improve attendance, we encourage families to plan vacations and non-essential travel during scheduled school holidays and breaks whenever possible.

Regular attendance plays a vital role in academic achievement, classroom participation, and building strong relationships with teachers and peers. By scheduling trips around the school calendar, students can make the most of every learning opportunity and stay on track for success.

Thank you for partnering with us to make attendance a priority!

 

Mentors needed: 

Do you want to make a difference in a student's life?  Can you find the time to help support our wonderful school system by being present for a student one hour one day a week on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons during the school year? 

Volunteers are needed to build a one-on-one relationship with a student through our Kids Hope, USA mentoring program.  Help us support our students by contacting Sandi Harris in the Administrative Office at 251-968-9873. She will be happy to assist you.

Looking for a school district that inspires students to excel and teachers to create motivational learning opportunities?
