PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
|
| | Dr. Ray |
We had a great first week of school and it was wonderful to have our students back on campus! Attending learning labs and being involved in after school activities provides excellent instructional and enrichment opportunities. We encourage our students to take advantage of all that GOC has to offer.
The #GOCOWLS is the communication you will receive every Friday. It is VERY important to read this newsletter on a weekly basis to stay informed throughout the year.
