GA's Distance Learning

The first week will be our biggest adjustment. So it is important to set guidelines for the students. Everyone must take this seriously. Please take the time to review and discuss it with your child/children. If you have questions join Mrs. Lovegreen on a Zoom meeting at either 10:00am today or 8:00pm Sunday. *See yesterday's newsletter for further information about Zoom meetings.
