Hello GCSC Families,
This is a friendly reminder that tomorrow is an Asynchronous eLearning Day for all students.
🕘 What this means:
Students will not report to school in person. Instead, learning will take place at home, and students are expected to log in during their scheduled times to complete assignments and participate as directed by their teachers.
📅 Please review the detailed schedule carefully to ensure your student:
Logs in on time
Completes assigned work
Checks messages from teachers
👨👩👧👦 Families play an important role in helping students stay on track—thank you for your continued partnership and support.
If you have questions or need assistance, please contact your school directly.
Welcome back to West Side Leadership Academy! We hope you had a safe and restful holiday break. As we return, we're ready to finish the semester strong and continue building a positive, focused learning environment for every Cougar.
