GRCCA Students, we are almost into November and 1st semester is flying by. We had a great time last week at the GRCCA Fall Festival organized by our Agriculture Program. Please note the Interest Survey link below so we can get you the earliest information regarding registration for Dual Enrollment and other programs here at the GRCCA. Again, please do not hesitate to reach out to the GRCCA staff if you have any questions or concerns.
GRCCA 2024/2025 Interest Survey
We will begin visiting our partnering high schools in November to present all of the offerings available to students at the GRCCA. Students who complete the survey will get the opportunity to attend initial GRCCA Registrations that will begin in December and continue through to February. To complete the survey simply go to the GRCCA Interest Survey or scan the QR Code.

GRCCA Attendance Policy
The GRCCA Handbook explains in detail the Attendance Policy in full that must be adhered to by our students. Please review it if you have any questions about attendance requirements at the GRCCA. I have detailed a few points below:
All students are required to sign in daily upon arrival to their class at the GRCCA.
Pep rallies or other non-curricular activities are not considered excused absences.
Instructors determine whether work missed may be made up, and any makeup work allowed will be scheduled at the discretion of the instructor.
Sincerely,
Chad D. Pruitt 10/29/23
