For the safety of all, parents MUST remain in their vehicle to pick-up their student via the car rider line in front of the school. Please do not park your vehicle and walk up to the school to pick-up your student during car-rider dismissal. We appreciate your support and cooperation!
We had a great first week of school and it was wonderful to have so many students back on campus!
We are so proud of our students for getting off to an incredible start this school year. Thank you to our returning students for welcoming our new friends and helping to support them as they navigate GOC's unique learning environment.
Please remember, if students need help, they should reach out to their teacher via email, text or a phone call. Our entire faculty and staff are beyond excited and committed to helping students reach their greatest potential as they continue to grow and flourish this school year.

Grades 4-12: GOC Arrival and Dismissal Plan |
|
To ensure the safety of all our students, faculty and staff during arrival and dismissal, please be sure to take all necessary precautions when dropping off and picking up students.
ARRIVAL
Arrival drop-off begins promptly at 8:30 a.m. for weekly labs through the front main entrance. Please do not drop your student off prior to this time unless a pre-arranged meeting or appointment with a faculty or staff member has been scheduled. Parents should never drop students off unattended in front of the school prior to 8:30 a.m. regardless of grade level.
DISMISSAL
During dismissal, parents must remain in their vehicle and pick-up their student via the car rider line only. Please do not park your vehicle and walk up to the school to pick-up your student during dismissal. Students must be picked up within 15 minutes of their lab or on-campus scheduled activity, otherwise, the student will be asked to wait in the Productivity Center and parents will need to park and enter the building to pick-up their student.
Hi-Hope Road or Hurricane Shoals Road should NOT be blocked with cars waiting to pull into the car rider line. Please review the 2021-2022 GOC Car Rider Map to familiarize yourself with GOC's traffic flow plan for arrival and dismissal.
