Principal's Message
A special thanks goes out to all of our incredible students and staff for making another Virtual Week such a huge success! Again, our students were so well prepared, actively engaged in all of the virtual sessions as well as extra help sessions, and used great digital citizenship skills throughout the week. Students used an incredible amount of 21st Century Skills that are such a common part of the every day learning experience here at GOC.
Students, please plan to join us for our annual Student vs. Faculty Tournament scheduled for Tuesday, February 25 at 1 p.m. Come out to cheer on your fellow classmates and teachers, and show your school spirit. This is an event you will not want to miss!

Attention Current GOC Families!
Registration for new families will be open for the
month of February on a first-come, first-served basis. For planning purposes, all existing full-time GOC students will be automatically re-enrolled for the 2020-21 school year.
Current families are encouraged to register any
new students early in February to ensure space.
Current families with students who will
be new
to GOC will need to register their child during the open enrollment period which is open through Friday, February 28.
If you know your student
will not return to GOC next year, please let us know as soon as possible so that we may offer the spot to a new family during full-time registration. If your student will not return to GOC next year you will be required to come on campus to withdraw your student in May 2020 after final grades have rolled.
Please contact the front office if you have any questions or concerns.
