Dear Parents and Students!

It is my pleasure to welcome you back to school with //Georgia Connections Academy!//! I am sure you are anxious to begin your first year as a virtual student! I am equally as excited to get started as a virtual teacher. If you have not received your "Back to School" welcome call, it will be coming during the first two weeks of school. In the meantime, please make sure you have completed your orientation session and that your student has as well. This will make beginning school a lot easier as it walks you through scheduling your classes, how to turn in assignments and more!

Please use the links below to watch my "Back to School" Power Point Presentation. Below that is a fun slide show I made just to get to know me a little bit better. I look forward to speaking with all of you shortly and beginning this great adventure in 21st century learning!

Mrs. Wilcox

This is a sample seating chart I often used in my classroom. The students would sit at two long tables, five per side. Since I employ cooperative learning frequently, I find this type of seating arrangement works great.

//However, as I am a virtual teacher, these types of things no longer matter!//
