The first few weeks of school help determine more than who’s in class. They help determine staffing, class sizes, resources and funding.

As GCS approaches its 10-day enrollment checkpoint, actual student counts are compared with projections. If the numbers look different than expected, staff and resources may need to shift too.

It’s a good reminder that when we talk about per-pupil funding, the “pupil” part really matters.

Here’s why the count matters and what happens next.

Our Fam-Fluencers came together today for a Lunch & Learn - Education Politics Without the Headache! 📚🏛️

Turns out, civics isn’t just a car. 🚙

It’s knowing who to call when you want to make change. We broke down who does what across the different levels of government and education, from federal and state leaders to Guilford County, the school system, the school board, and your child’s principal.

Because sometimes the hardest part of speaking up is simply knowing who actually has the power to fix the thing you’re speaking up about.

📣 Want to be a Fam-Fluencer? Here’s what it’s all about: learn more about early childhood and K-12 education in Guilford County, share what you learn with your networks, help us spread the word by sharing Roll Call posts, and vote! 🗳️

Ever wonder how the school calendar is made?

North Carolina law sets the start and end date limits and requires at least 1,025 instructional hours. In GCS, a committee helps develop the calendar before it goes to the Board of Education for public input and final approval.

The 2026–27 and 2027–28 calendars are now published and available at gcsnc.org/all-events.

Teachers do more than teach. Many also spend hundreds of their own dollars each year buying supplies for their classrooms.

That’s why the Teacher Supply Warehouse, an initiative of shift_ed, is such an important community resource. It gives Guilford County educators access to free classroom supplies while creating an easy way for businesses and community members to give back.

The warehouse recently celebrated the grand opening of its new location at 134 Franklin Blvd, Greensboro. If you’d like to donate supplies or learn more, email Lenny at [email protected].
