The District encourages all families to talk with their students regarding the dangers associated with vaping or drug usage and to discuss the implications of this new law with your children, emphasizing the importance of adhering to school policies and laws for their own welfare and for the betterment of the school community as a whole. Your cooperation and support in ensuring that our district remains a safe and healthy educational environment for our students is deeply appreciated.
As TCC classes begin, and we start our first “normal” week at Collegiate Academy, remember that you will need to wear your lanyard with your TCC ID (yellow) while on the TCC campus. This is for your safety - TCC police, instructors, and staff need to be able to identify that you are an early college high school student. If you do not have your TCC ID, make sure you let your Pathways teacher know right away.
Also, please see our district dress code reminders. Although we are on the TCC campus, CA will follow GCISD dress code reminders.
