Hi, I'm Dr. Heather Fisher the Principal of the Germantown Online Academy of Learning, and I'd like to take a few moments to tell you about Germantown Municipal School District's premiere virtual school. We serve students in grades k-12. We are tuition free for all Germantown and Shelby Country residents, and we provide a flexible learning environment. At GOAL, we are about preparing our students for their tomorrow. We focus on individual student growth. We assist our students in developing an ownership of learning. We provide academic rigor, opportunities through honors classes, enrichment opportunities, and advanced placement as well as dual enrollment courses. We are about cultivating the leader in every student. We are also excited to tell you about a few new things that we will have going on. We are going to be working with Tennessee's AP access for all and will be able to provide additional AP courses for our high school students. We are going to be introducing an incentive program called GOALIE points in which we are going to promote school attendance, school involvement, community service, work opportunities, and extracurricular involvement. We will also have something for our parents this year, Parent Reach. We are going to implement our virtual Parent Reach to provide you as parents the opportunity to connect with fellow Virtual School parents. You'll be able to assist in student life events, provide feedback and reflection for where we are and where we are headed. We will continue with our virtual student morning meetings. We will have ongoing student life activities like bowling, games, getting together to eat, and just enjoy each other. We will also continue with our learning our lunch and learn sessions in which we will have virtual college tours, virtual field trips, and community speakers. And summer - it may be a time for resting and relaxation, it's also a time to learn about GOAL, so join us June 22nd for our virtual lunch and learn. This will be for prospective parents. We hope to see you there, virtually, and July, July 8th join us for the popsicle principal event right here at Germantown district office.
