Remote Learning Student and Parent Info
September 2020
As Covid-19 concerns loom, we are preparing to transition to remote learning. Student assignments/activities are currently being emailed by their GCAS teachers. Students should frequently check email accounts to make sure that they have all current assignments. In addition to these assignments, links to other educational resources will be provided. Should you have any questions, feel free to email or call Ms. Pearson or Mrs. Taylor.
