Principal's Message
Parents and students, please be mindful that the testing season is now in full swing for all GOC students in grades 4-12. As a reminder, there will be
no CORE/Learning Labs on campus the remainder of December. The Testing Schedule is available on the
Assessment page of the GOC website.
Thank you parents for supporting and encouraging your students to
"Power their Potential" as they finish the semester strong.
GOC will host the annual Winter Social on
Monday, December 10 from 1- 2:30 p.m. We hope to see everyone there as we celebrate the end of the Fall semester.
We are excited to wrap up the semester with this fun-filled event which includes:
Gift Exchange
Tacky Sweater Contest
Ice Cream & Hot Chocolate Bar
Frozen Sing Along
Students who wish to participate in the optional gift exchange should bring a generic (non-gender AND non-age specific) wrapped gift valued at $5 as well as a $10 generic gift card. Please, no food items are permitted as gifts due to various food allergies.
Students
MUST PRE-REGISTER for this event by visiting their
MyPaymentsPlus account no later than
Sunday, December 9 at 11:59 p.m.
Parents, we need your help to make this the best Winter Social yet! Please access the
Sign Up Genuis to volunteer and/or make a donation for this event.
All full-time students should have received a final exam schedule to their GOC email address. If any student has not received the email, please contact GOC's Testing Coordinator, Ms. Torrens.
Please note that students are typically scheduled for more than one exam per day. Students need to arrive at the scheduled time as outlined on the final exam schedule.
Grades 4-12: Shrek the Musical
The cast list for Shrek the Musical has been emailed to students and parents. Students, please respond back to the email to accept the role and be sure to stop by the font desk to pick up your script prior to leaving for Winter Break. If you did not receive an email, please contact Dr. Pritchard.
Grades 4-12: Mario Kart & Smash Brothers Tournament
Student Leadership is excited to announce that they will be hosting a Mario Kart and Smash Brothers Tournament on Friday, January 11 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Please visit your MyPaymentsPlus account to register and pay for this event.
Spectators are invited to attend at no cost but will not be permitted to compete. Pizza and concessions will also be offered for sale the day of the event.
Due to the unique learning environment at Gwinnett Online Campus, students have access to course content 24/7. In the event of a GCPS closure due to a weather event, the GOC building will be closed. However, Gwinnett Online Campus will continue to deliver instruction and maintain its regular online school schedule. CORE and Learning Labs will still continue virtually. If there are widespread power outages in Gwinnett County, a plan for makeup days or extensions for due dates will be communicated via email. Extended deadlines are built into many of the courses which already allows flexibility in the case of brief power outages. In the event that individual students experience outages that last for more than a few hours, work extensions will be handled with students on an individual basis.
