Message from Champ!
Hello fellow Champions!
I would like to say a big 'welcome' to my new and returning Champions! I hope you all had an amazing summer and are refreshed and ready for this school year to start off with a big bang!
I would also like to share some successful tips in hopes to start your school year off right:
- Plan your schedule for the week. Prepare your week ahead time so you feel empowered and motivated about school.
- Make sure you're attend classes live. Attending classes live allows you to get real time instruction and to get your questions answered.
- Make sure you're completing your lessons and assignments on time. Staying on top of your school work will eliminate most of your stress.
- Make sure you get to know your teachers. Your teachers' job is to be your instructor, your adviser, and your friend.
- Make sure you make friends in your classes. GCA wants families to get and stay connected.
- And last but not least, make school fun. If you have a positive attitude about school it will be fun and go by extremely fast!
Have an amazing school year, Champions!
