Staff -
Reminder - 50% of your students are eating at one time if you can not reinforce the 6 feet social distance when masks are off. I also highly support going outside as Mr. Wesney has previously suggested. I do anticipate receiving more picnic tables… I just do not have a timeline on that. Any inquiries regarding cohort movement should be directed to the assigned counselor.
While we have seen great improvements with getting through this virus and modifications in the CDC/DHHS guidance based on science, this pandemic is not over. Simply continue to do what you have already been doing by adhering to the expectations that are in place.
Mrs. Cline will send out updated cohort rosters as of today, and will then send another update as of Friday, April 16 in preparation for Monday, April 19th.
April 21st – a remote day. However, any current “R cohort” students who wish to take the NWEA on campus, may do so.

Bus Routes will be available after spring break.
The ACT WorkKeys exam is given to all seniors who qualify as Career and Technical Education concentrators, meaning they are pursuing a pathway of courses in one of 13 career clusters. The assessment will be given during school hours on Wednesday, April 14. Letters with more information will be coming home with your senior or mailed out the week we return from Spring Break.This is an Asynchronous day for 9th grade, 11th grade, and ONLY 12th graders who are NOT taking their WorkKeys exam.

Do you feel like there is something missing from this manual? Please e-mail any administrator of what it is and where the location should be. As we continue to build this, we are hoping this becomes the ultimate Staff Handbook. Thank you to everyone who has played a role in this development!

Please send a copy of your latest transcript with the admissions packet. If you attend a public high school, you may request this through cfnc.org. Please provide your High School ID # on the Verification Form. If your transcript is in a sealed envelope, you may open it and scan it.
o Copy of Home School State Registration (if applicable)
o Consent to Release Form – to be completed by the student.

3. Scan your application packet and email the documents as attachments using the attach

Once you have submitted your application packet:
o Please be checking the email listed on your application. If something is missing, you will be notified. After the application is processed, the applicant will receive an email with Titan Account Activation Instructions.
o After activating your Titan account, please log into your GTCC Titan Email and check it frequently. You will receive registration instructions around March 1, 2021. Applicants who apply after March 15, will receive registration instructions after their application is processed.
o Once you have registered for classes, you will be sent an email with instructions for our mandatory online CCP Orientation.
Please keep in mind that the purpose of CCP is for eligible high school students to earn college credits towards a college degree, diploma, or certificate.
Dual credit for high school graduation requirements is a bonus, but should not be what drives course selection. Courses in the CCP transfer pathways should be selected based on the published bachelor degree plan for the major at the university the student intends to transfer to after high school.
Feel free to share Counselors information to the students.
