Grades 4-12: Upcoming GOC Student Holidays
We would like to make sure all families are aware of the student/teacher holiday schedule for the month of March. Due to our unique learning environment, GOC remained open on the days GCPS missed when Hurricane Irma hit in the fall. So, the days designed as inclement weather make-up days on the GCPS calendar will remain student/teacher holidays for GOC.
The following Friday's will be Student/Teacher Holidays for Gwinnett Online Campus:
- Friday, March 9
- Friday, March 23
Of course, students will still have access to their courses. While teachers will not be available on these dates, it is a good opportunity for students to work ahead or get caught up on assignments.
