Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our staff at GAOnline@gilbertschools.net or (480) 507-1476 if we can assist you with anything this year.
Enjoy the rest of your summer– we can’t wait to get started on the new year.

Required Tasks for All Students
Online Learning Agreement
All full-time online students are required to complete the Online Learning Agreement at the start of each year. This agreement details the rules and regulations around GPS Global Academy and will ask your plan for attendance this year – please note that we’re only asking for an estimate; you may change your mind as the year progresses. The deadline for completing this agreement is July 30, 2022. Students who do not have a completed agreement will need to be withdrawn from Global Academy.
Your unique link to the agreement will be emailed to you on Monday, July 25.
Online Learning Orientation
Required prior to receiving new classes - Our staff has developed a 45-minute GGA Orientation course that will introduce you to the basics of online learning and teach you skills that will make you successful in your online learning journey. All full-time online students, both continuing from last year and completely new, are required to complete this online orientation as it contains important, updated information to help you be successful.
Free & Reduced Lunch Application
Households who apply for meal benefits on or before July 30th will be eligible for the potential of receiving another round of p-EBT cards (food assistance money for families to use to buy groceries, due to the pandemic.) This program may or may not get approved, but if it becomes a reality families will want to make sure they applied by July 30th to be included in that extra benefit.
Picture Day
Mark your calendars -- more information coming soon!
