GACS is developing a plan to support moving K-12 classroom instruction from the Hybrid Model to a 100% Face to Face Instructional Model. Our target is for mid February, possibly February 15, dependent on School Board approval.
To do so, we need your help. As always, we strive to meet the needs of our families to the best of our abilities.
We need each family whose children are currently attending school in the Hybrid Model, to complete the attached online survey for each child attending.
We will make further announcements as soon as possible. Your feedback is always helpful & welcomed.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and the entire G-A family.
