Welcome to Economics Class!
Summer 2016
Dear students, parents, and facilitators.
Student Orientation Course: Must be completed prior to gaining access to your GaVS Course.
The following items are required for the completion of the Student Orientation Course (SOC):
* students complete all sign off
* students complete all agreement quizzes
* students make a 100% on the final Student Orientation Quiz.
OR
* Students may choose to opt out of the Student Orientation Course; however, students who elect to opt out of the Student Orientation Course are still responsible for all content presented in the course.
Students must finish or opt out of the SOC before gaining access to the course. Following successful completion of the SOC, the date on which students will gain access to the course is dependent upon which schedule was selected at the time of registration.

The Parent Account gives you information about your child’s grades and progress in their course. If your child’s grade drops below a 70, you will receive a phone call from me.
In order to view your child’s progress, you will need to have a parent account within our Student Information System and your account must be linked to your child’s GAVS account. If you already have a parent account please do NOT create a new one. If you have never created a parent account or you have not linked to your student’s account, follow the steps listed below.
