Virtual Student Information

REQUEST FOR VIRTUAL SCHOOL

In accordance with GCBOE protocols students requesting virtual school may only do so at the end of a grading period. The request for the current grading period has now closed. The next opportunity to request virtual status will open in January. The two main requirements for students requesting virtual status are adequate internet access and the student must be passing all subjects. Students that are granted virtual status may be required to return to school in the event that academic progress is unsatisfactory. In January all requests should be made through our school office.

Giles County Schools will be offering FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH starting September 1, 2020 and will continue until further notice under the USDA meal waiver.
