00:00:06,291 --> 00:00:07,541
Hello, I'm Jamie

2
00:00:07,541 --> 00:00:11,125
Burke, the Elementary Grade Band
Principal here at Georgia Cyber Academy.

3
00:00:11,625 --> 00:00:14,875
I’d like to take a moment to walk you
through what a typical school day

4
00:00:14,875 --> 00:00:16,458
looks like for our students.

5
00:00:16,458 --> 00:00:19,750
Our school day runs from 8:00 AM to 2:00

6
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:23,333
PM and includes five hours
of dedicated instructional time.

7
00:00:23,666 --> 00:00:25,125
We do not have a homeroom.

8
00:00:25,125 --> 00:00:27,291
Students log in to their first period,

9
00:00:27,291 --> 00:00:30,708
and this adjustment allowed us
to make the most of our instructional day

10
00:00:30,916 --> 00:00:35,125
and ensure that your student gets the
maximum benefit for their time with us.

11
00:00:35,666 --> 00:00:39,833
But don't worry, we still build in
plenty of breaks, including a full

12
00:00:39,833 --> 00:00:43,916
one hour lunch to make sure that students
stay refreshed and engaged.

13
00:00:44,583 --> 00:00:48,500
Each morning, students are greeted
by their teacher and begin their day

14
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:52,083
with live class sessions
that cover the four content areas.

15
00:00:52,583 --> 00:00:57,291
In addition to those, students
also enjoy a range of engaging electives

16
00:00:57,291 --> 00:01:02,166
including Art, Physical Education,
Spanish and Computer Science.

17
00:01:02,708 --> 00:01:04,250
These classes are designed

18
00:01:04,250 --> 00:01:08,125
not only to enrich their learning,
but to spark creativity and curiosity.

19
00:01:08,625 --> 00:01:11,166
Every student is expected to be on webcam

20
00:01:11,166 --> 00:01:14,166
each day to help foster
a strong classroom community.

21
00:01:14,375 --> 00:01:17,375
However,
we also offer an optional privacy mode

22
00:01:17,416 --> 00:01:20,333
that allows students to be visible
only to their teacher

23
00:01:20,333 --> 00:01:23,333
so families can choose
what works best for them.

24
00:01:23,708 --> 00:01:26,791
Our weekly instructional schedule
is thoughtfully structured

25
00:01:27,125 --> 00:01:30,291
from Monday through Wednesday,
students receive 100 minutes of

26
00:01:30,291 --> 00:01:34,958
English Language Arts, Math, and Science,
and then on Thursdays and Fridays,

27
00:01:34,958 --> 00:01:39,291
they have 50 minutes of English Language
Arts and 50 minutes of Social Studies,

28
00:01:39,541 --> 00:01:42,291
along with the same
format for Math and Science.

29
00:01:43,375 --> 00:01:44,916
This schedule provides both

30
00:01:44,916 --> 00:01:49,166
consistency and variety,
allowing us to dive deeply

31
00:01:49,166 --> 00:01:53,041
into core subjects while also making space
for interdisciplinary learning.

32
00:01:53,875 --> 00:01:56,500
Here at GCA, you'll find a whole team

33
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:59,500
dedicated to your child's success,

34
00:01:59,666 --> 00:02:04,541
from teachers and Family Engagement
Liaisons to Attendance Specialists, Family

35
00:02:04,541 --> 00:02:08,666
School Partnership Coordinators,
counselors, and interventionists.

36
00:02:08,875 --> 00:02:13,583
We are all here to support your student
every single day.

37
00:02:14,208 --> 00:02:16,500
Thank you for choosing Georgia
Cyber Academy.

38
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:20,875
We are honored to partner with you
in your child's educational journey,

39
00:02:21,166 --> 00:02:24,416
and we look forward
to a fantastic year ahead.
