We’re excited to share that we’ve adopted a new communication platform called ParentSquare to help us keep you better informed and more connected with your school community.

With ParentSquare, you’ll receive all school and classroom messages in one place and translated into your preferred language—whether by email, text, app, or web. You’ll also be able to:

• Stay up to date on news and events
• Send and receive messages with teachers and staff
• Fill out forms and permission slips
• Sign up for conferences and volunteer opportunities
• View calendar items and photos from your school

All school, grade-level, and classroom communications will now come through ParentSquare.

To get the most out of ParentSquare, we encourage you to download the free mobile app, available for iOS and Android. You can also access ParentSquare from your web browser at www.parentsquare.com. For more information, please visit the ParentSquare webpage on the ECBOE website.

Beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, the use of cell phones and other wireless devices will be banned during the instructional day in all Alabama's public schools.

The State Report Card is out, and we are thrilled to announce that Gaston High School has achieved an overall score of 80/B on the state report card, reflecting the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, staff, administration, and the Gaston Community.

This milestone demonstrates our commitment to ongoing improvement in key areas, including academic achievement, academic growth, chronic absenteeism, college and career readiness, and our graduation rate. We recognize that this success is a collective effort, and we remain focused on continuing to raise the bar for excellence. And most importantly, we celebrate our students, who inspire us every day with their hard work, determination, and pursuit of excellence.

Go Dawgs!

What is Child Find?

Child Find is a statewide effort by the Alabama State Department of Education and the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services to locate, identify, and evaluate children with disabilities from birth to age 21.

How Does Child Find Work?

Early Intervention and Special Education Services work closely with community service agencies, parents, and local school systems to locate children with disabilities. For parents or other persons interested in information about referring a child from birth to age 21, the toll-free telephone number is 1-800-543-3098.

Why is Child Find Important?

Child Find helps the child, the family, and the provider to plan appropriate services and link families to services for students who may meet special education eligibility requirements.

For more information about Child Find, contact Etowah County Schools at 256-442-1050.
