There are a number of open positions for the 25-26 school year in the realm of student support.  A paraprofessional is a support staff member, working under the supervision of a teacher, to assist with student learning and classroom management. They are often referred to as teacher assistants, instructional aides, or paras. A teaching degree is not required for these positions and are often filled by community members.  Please see Hiring on the GCS website, or reach out to the main office for more information.

Earlier this week, GCS students in grades K-8 enjoyed an interactive and dynamic performance from the Bamidele Dancers & Drummers. During this program, Wongai! Rhythms of West Africa, Brazil & the Caribbean, our students learned about different cultures and traditions through drumming, dancing, singing, and storytelling. This program connected with several components of our curriculum, including studies of ancient and native civilizations, percussion, and world cultures. We are grateful to the Greenland Parent Organization (GPO) for sponsoring this special event!
