The
Gainesville City Schools International
Center was established in the summer of 1997 for the purpose of serving as a
central intake center for all incoming GCSS second language students.
This includes the orientation, registration, assessment, placement,
(& high school advisement) for each student and their family.
Some of the IC’s other duties are the evaluation of all foreign
transcripts, serving as a clearinghouse for
available community resources, holding and/or facilitating parent information
meetings w/ native language moderators, helping to distribute and translate
selected school notices & documents, conducting staff development, and
various other duties i.e., tutoring, SST support, and school consultation as
needed.
The International Center is located next to
Fair Street Elementary School.
Registration hours are 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
