NC Symphony: Virtual Resources
The N.C. Symphony on Tuesday started sharing free music education materials to teachers and families as we're all hunkered down during the coronavirus pandemic.
The symphony has released a digital broadcast of a North Carolina Symphony Education Concert and its companion materials, to support teachers who are engaging their students virtually and parents who are continuing their children’s education at home, according to a press release. The online content is available free of charge for students, teachers, parents, and audiences of all ages to access and enjoy across North Carolina and worldwide.
These materials may be accessed at ncsymphony.org/virtual with password 1932.

Granville Academy K-5 & 6-8 Family Support/Outreach Groups
K-5 & 6-8 Granville Academy families:
There are two Facebook groups that are set up for GA Pirates and families in grades K-5 & 6-8 (as parents and students) to come together and get to know each other better. The idea behind the pages is to have somewhere to go for support (help with assignments that may be confusing) or to plan a fun outing with the group ("Hey, anyone want to go to the park and have lunch this Friday?").
Please note the pages are set up to protect the privacy of students & families. Only GA Pirates are allowed to join. Please search for the groups on Facebook!
We are looking forward to getting to know our GA Pirates!
GA Box Tops for Education

Information Grades 6-8
Message from 6-8 Teachers:
We hope that everyone had a restful spring break! We are now getting back to the grind of school!
I have attached the checklists for this week and they have also been posted on Google Classroom for students to access.
Continue Working
- All students should continue working on Edgenuity unless they have been given alternative assignments by their teachers
- Students who are doing alternative assignments should complete as soon as they can and email them to the appropriate teacher. If these are book/paper assignments, you may take pictures of the pages and email them. They may also be completed in Google Docs and shared.
Weekly Video Chats
- We are doing a weekly video chat with each location (Mary Potter and Tar River. Students are expected to be on those video chats so please make sure they are on their computers at the time of the chats. These chats are important for us to be able to check in with everyone and give them important updates while we aren't meeting in person right now.
- Students were sent calendar invitations to their school emails, these invitations contain the link to join the chat.
- These chats will typically be around 20-30 minutes and be around the same time each week.
Google Classroom
- Mrs. Young posts important announcements for students on her Google Classroom so students need to make sure they are checking for those announcements regularly so they don't miss anything.
Field Trip Update
- Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to go on our field trip to the zoo this year. We know everyone was looking forward to it and we hate to cancel it.
- We will be sending checks in the mail with your refund. These will be sent to address listed for the student in PowerSchool so please make sure the address is up to date. If you need to change the address in PowerSchool, please call the school ASAP.
- If multiple adult chaperones were going to attend the trip for one student, this money will all be on one check and sent to the address listed for the student.
Need Help?
- If students are behind and have not already spoken with their teachers about ways to catch up on alternative assignments, NOW is the time to ask. The end of the school year quickly approaching and that also means there is less time to be able to ask us about ways to get caught up. We are all here to help students be successful and want them to be, but we cannot complete the work for them.
- Students who need any help with any subject can reach out to their teachers for help through email or Google Hangout Chat
- Ms. Russell, our wonderful TA, is also available from 9am-5pm to help students with their work. She can also be reached through email or Google Hangout Chat. Her email is russelln1@gcs.k12.nc.us.
PLEASE reach out to us if you have any questions, concerns, or needs. We may not see you all in person right now, but we are still here to help you and your children.
