Gwinnett Online Campus announced that these Digital Learning Days will not impact our lab schedules. Labs will be held on campus on Tuesday, March 22. As always, GOC students will have the option to login from home or attend the weekly lab in person.

Purchase Your GOC Lookbook |
|
We have some exciting news! GOC will have our version of a yearbook this year called The GOC Lookbook!
We have a group of students who have been working with one of our teachers on designing and publishing our Lookbook since August and we are happy to announce that they are now available for you to purchase. Our GOC Lookbook will capture full-time students on campus in grades 4-12, including classroom shots as well as pictures from clubs and activities throughout the school year. We hope this will be a book that your student can keep as a memory of their year at Gwinnett Online Campus. The GOC Lookbook will not include individual portraits of students.
Please click HERE for instructions on purchasing your very own 2021-22 GOC Lookbook.
|
|
Please note that the GOC Lookbook can only be purchased by the deadline of March 31, 2022. We will NOT have extra or additional copies for sale when the books are delivered. |
