GEORGIA CUMBERLAND ACADEMY Visiting Campus Parents may visit GCA as often as they can. If you want to sit in on a class, you must contact the teacher in advance. Students should not miss work assignments unless they make arrangements beforehand. Sabbaths and Sundays are often the best times to come to campus. Dorm students must always be signed out before leaving campus. Other relatives, friends, or alumni are not allowed to drop in at GCA whenever they want. All requests to visit campus must be through Administration. We will monitor who is on campus and we need to know who is visiting. If you live at a distance and cannot visit often or, alternatively, you live nearby but don’t want to “helicopter parent,” here are the most important, “do not miss” occasions to visit the campus: PARENTS’ WEEKEND Parents’ Weekend is a highlight. If you are available on that weekend, it is an important time to come and visit your child and engage with the school and other parents. MUSIC PROGRAMS If your child is part of the music program, then there are at least three weekends in the year, besides Parents’ Weekend, where the musical groups are featured (the Christmas concert weekend, Academy Days, and Spring Concert weekend). These weekends are not to be missed and you will enjoy hearing your child participate in the various music groups. SPORTS EVENTS If your child is part of a sports team, there are special events where the sports teams are featured. Depending on the sport, there may be tournaments, routine games, travel games, or special recognition games, such as end of the year games where seniors or MVPs are recognized. The gymnastics team performs at Parents’ Weekend, Academy Days, and at the end of the school year in the Home Show. TALENT SHOW If your child is participating in the talent show, you may want to know about that and attend that event. (As a general rule, you may have to ask your student, as they may not think to volunteer this information.) As we all know, the time with our children is fleeting and as a parent you wouldn’t want to miss a significant event in their lives. Take time to read the GCA newsletter and communicate with your son or daughter about events that you see on the calendar. Look for the GCA Update in your e-mail inbox every Wednesday for the latest information! 22
