Bullying prevention
Bullying is an intentional, hurtful act carried out
repeatedly and over time, which harms, induces fear and/or creates terror in
the victim. It is characterized by an imbalance of power between the victim
and the aggressor, and can take several forms including physical, emotional
and social bullying.

Suicide prevention
Throughout the fall of 2009, GCSD
students, families, and staff members came together to try to cope with a
student suicide. Undoubtedly, there are still
strong emotions surrounding this loss. The district's crisis team has met to
discuss some serious and lingering issues that may have emanated from this
event, including issues of depression, anxiety, and students expressing
suicidal thoughts. We have been working closely with mental health
professionals from our community and around the region to address these
continuing concerns.
