Mrs. Phillips's Course Updates
3/21/2017
Are you signed up for the EOC? If you are a public school student, please make sure you have signed up with your district to take the EOC. The state of Georgia will not recognize credit for this class unless you pass the EOC test. These tests are generally given in late April and early May.
Spring Break April 3-7
Important Reminder:
Our Spring Break is the week of April 3rd- April 7th. GAVS does not observe breaks from local school systems that do not line up with these dates. If your Spring Break occurs during a different week, you should work ahead so that you can take the week off, or continue working as you normally would. Late penalties will apply if work is not completed due to a Spring Break conflict. Please enjoy the week off Apr 3-7!
Class Chat
Take advantage of office hours on Mondays at 8:00 PM. If you can't attend the live session, please email me questions and then view the recording. You may also find historical recordings to be helpful. These can be found in the "links" widget in BrightSpace.
Progress Reports
This week's progress report grade reflects all work turned in by 3/18/17 at 11:59 PM. Late work will not be reflected in the grade you see. Progress reports are issued every other week. If your child's grade drops below a 70, you will receive additional notification.
Light Week?
Time to get ahead. Staying just one day ahead can relieve a lot of stress, especially when "life happens". You will also have an extra day to ask questions before each due date.
CS Students: CodeQuest is April 29th
Lockheed Martin's annual CodeQuest competition will be held on April 29th. Check out the website!
