When to stay home due to illness? Read our sick policy here

Email attendance@gcafrisco.org for student absences.

Parents, we try to spread love not germs, please keep your student home if they are showing signs of illness.  Students need to be:
  • fever free for 24 hours before returning to school
  • on antibiotics for at least 24 hours before returning to school
  • no upset stomachs for at least 24 hours before returning to school
If you do keep your student home, please email attendance@gcafrisco.org to let us know and we will let their teacher know. 
 

Due Date for Work: Excused Absences Only

Students with excused absences of any length should turn in all work by the second class day back at school. Work that was due the first day that was missed is due immediately upon return to school. For example, if a student who attends class three days a week (M-T-Th) is absent Monday and returns to school Tuesday, the homework that was due on Monday is due the day they return: Tuesday. The homework due Tuesday is due Thursday.  

 

In summary:

  • The work that was due the day that was missed is due the student’s first day back to school.
  • The work that was assigned while the student was absent (including in-class work) is due on the second day back, unless other arrangements are made with the teacher. Teachers may use their own discretion concerning make-up work due dates if there are special circumstances.

Muffins with Mom

Thursday, May 7th

We invite all GCA moms and students to join us for our Muffins with Mom event on Thursday, May 7th, 2026, from 7:30–8:00 a.m.

This special morning is open to all students in grades K–12, and we’ll have plenty of muffins for everyone — moms and students alike! All students will be included in this event even if their mom is unable to attend.

Join us for a short, intentional time to start the day right: enjoy breakfast together, connect with other moms, and be encouraged by a brief time of prayer and inspiration before heading off to class or work.

To help with morning traffic, please park in the spots furthest from the building. All moms and students may enter through the GCA lobby doors (normal drop-off location) and join us in the gym for this special time together.

Schedule:

7:30–8:00 a.m. – Muffins with Mom

7:40 a.m. – High School moms join students for Huddle Time

7:45 a.m. – High School students head to class

7:55 a.m. – Lower School moms join students for a time of prayer

8:00 a.m. – Lower School students head to class

We know your mornings are valuable — and we promise this one will be worth it. We can’t wait to see our campus filled with moms and students enjoying muffins, laughter, and meaningful moments together.

Welcome to SCOIR

For all 9th-12th Students- more info at Advising & Icecream

Grace Covenant Academy is pleased to share that we’ve implemented a new College & Career Readiness platform called Scoir (pronounced “score”). This system will streamline the process of requesting, processing, sending, and tracking the electronic delivery of all application-related documents. More importantly, it’s a much more enjoyable way for students and parents to engage in the college search and selection process.

On Scoir, colleges come to life through pictures, videos, and links that highlight active student clubs and organizations. This better enables students to discover for and identify colleges and careers that are a good fit with their personal and academic interests, which increases college retention.

Scoir also provides parents and guardians with useful financial calculators so you can determine the likely cost of attendance at different colleges and consider affordability when deciding where to apply. These features, along with more convenient scheduling and communication tools for high school counselors, will help keep everyone informed and engaged throughout the college application process.

Scoir exists to help more students achieve more positive outcomes, and we’re excited that our students have access to this system and the college and career readiness opportunities it provides.
