GBS maintains a closed campus. In order to ensure campus safety and security, students and visitors must comply with the following requirements:
Student Passes: To leave the classroom during class time for any reason, the student needs permission from the teacher and a written pass from the teacher.
Visitor Passes: Any visitor (student, alumni, parent, youth pastor, etc.) must obtain and display a visitor’s pass issued by the front office. Visitors must report to the front office immediately upon entering the school grounds. All student visitors must abide by GBS dress and conduct standards. Any former student who has withdrawn or been expelled from school needs administrative approval 24 hours in advance of their visit to campus.
Senior Privileges: A free period is a privilege extended to SENIORS ONLY and may be revoked at any time. Seniors must have a minimum cumulative GPA of a 2.6 and be current on all graduation requirements at the end of their junior year in order to have a free period at any point in their senior year. Seniors who drop below a 2.6 or do not meet graduation requirements after the first semester of their senior year will not be eligible for a free period.
Any senior who has first or last period free may come late or leave early. Seniors are not authorized to leave campus for lunch unless their free period is immediately before or after their free block. Chapel attendance is required regardless of where your Free Block falls.
Eligible seniors must complete a “FREE PERIOD” request form BEFORE participation each semester. Seniors must sign in and out at the Front Office when leaving campus. A senior will receive one warning if he/she leaves the campus without signing out during his/her free period. After a second occurrence, he/she will receive an in-house suspension and his/her open-campus privileges will be revoked. Chapel attendance is required even if it is immediately proceeded or followed by a free period.
