Welcome to Mrs. Connolly’s Class – room 251 at GCHS. This website is homebase for your class with Mrs. C – a place to find daily happenings, reminders, links, downloads, etc. I will post in GClassroom basic assignment and due dates. Depending on which course you are enrolled in, you will submit work in a variety of ways via Dropbox, Flipgrid, Padlet, GClassroom, etc. Explore the tabs at the top to see what’s here.
