Families of Senior Students,

We would like to make you aware of a game known as “Senior Assassin” that some of our senior students may be participating in outside of school. This activity is not organized by Goose Creek CISD.
“Senior Assassin” is a student-organized game in which participants use water guns to eliminate participating players.
As a reminder, this game is not permitted on any GCCISD campus or at school-related events. Water guns, water balloons, and similar items (including flotation devices) are not allowed during school hours or on school property.
We appreciate your help in reinforcing these expectations so that we can maintain a safe and focused learning environment for all students.

Dear High School Families,
As our school community continues to grieve the loss of one of our Sterling students, we know many students are looking for ways to honor and remember their classmate, especially with his birthday approaching this week. We understand and appreciate the care and love students are showing for their friend during this difficult time.
We are aware that some students have discussed wearing clown makeup or costumes as part of a tribute. While we respect the intention behind this gesture, face paint and costumes are not permitted under the district dress code.
Our student handbook states that student dress and grooming should not disrupt, interfere with, disturb, or detract from school activities. School administrators, with the input and support of faculty members, are responsible for determining and enforcing acceptable dress and grooming standards.
Students who arrive at school in violation of the dress code will be required to correct the violation, or disciplinary consequences will be imposed according to the Student Code of Conduct.
Students are welcome to wear bright colors that celebrate their friend’s spirit, as long as it complies with the district dress code. We encourage everyone to honor his memory in positive, respectful ways that support the learning environment.
We continue to keep this student’s family, friends, and all who were impacted in our thoughts. Our counselors and staff remain available to support students who may need someone to talk to.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping us maintain a supportive environment for all students.
Sincerely,
Goose Creek Administration

Dear Liles families,
Today, Liles Elementary experienced a fire alarm and building evacuation. Students and staff did an outstanding job evacuating the building quickly, calmly, and safely. Campus staff immediately followed emergency protocols, and first responders arrived promptly to ensure the building was safe.
After a thorough investigation, it was determined that a student brought a lighter from home and started a small fire in a restroom. The situation was addressed immediately, and safety protocols were followed.
One classroom was impacted by water from the sprinkler system and will not be ready for students until after spring break. Accommodations have been made to ensure students are minimally impacted, and school will continue as scheduled tomorrow.
Families are encouraged to speak with their children about the seriousness of bringing prohibited and potentially dangerous items to school.
As always, student safety is our top priority. Thank you to the staff, administration, and first responders for their swift actions and for keeping our students safe.
Sincerely,
Goose Creek Administration
