SPECIAL SERVICES CORNER
Greetings to all of the new families joining us and hello again to our returning families! The Special Services Department is so excited to continue getting to know all of you. We are looking forward to our Yes We Can! year....we know that through perseverance and collaboration scholars will continue to grow in excellence. If you haven't had a chance yet to meet our new dynamic team, please let me introduce them to you.
As always, we seek to collaborate with you so that we can work as a team to make sure that we see progress in our scholars. Feel free to reach out to me at sleggett@glacharter.org or to your scholar's case manager if you have any concerns.

CELL PHONE EXPECTATIONS
All GLA Parents and families are expected to adhere to the GLA Cell Phone policy that is outlined in our handbook. Scholars are NOT permitted to keep cell phones with them during the school day, even if they are turned off. All scholars are required to turn cell phones in to their homeroom teachers who house them in bins that are locked up. Scholars who fail to adhere to this policy will have their cell phones confiscated and they will not be returned without a formal parent meeting. We thank you for your support of our efforts to keep scholars safe.
