Great News! GLA is Partnering with the Mann Music Center!
Motion and Music Academy (Grades 4-8)
The Motion and Music Academy is a performing arts after school program designed to provide quality choir, drumming and dance classes to GLA scholars. Motion and Music Academy is a proud partnership between the Mann, Pennsylvania Ballet, Sister Cities Choir and Mad Beatz Philly in providing quality arts instruction and concert experiences. On Tuesday and Thursdays, all participating students will join voices in choir for the first block of class, then elect to learn dance technique or drumline percussion for the second block of class. Motion and Music Academy students will receive afternoon snack, free transportation to performances and the opportunity to perform. The Spring session will culminate in an end of school year Motion and Music Academy performance at GLA. There are limited spaces for registration, students will receive all the needed materials through the Mann’s new Motion and Music Academy. There is $50 fee paid to GLA for participation. Please see the flyer and registration form for more details!
Please contact Mrs. Dean at ldean@ga-schools.org with any questions about these programs!

important announcement about social media!
We recommend that parents install the app "Our Pact" on your phone. The app will allow you to set controls on your scholar's phone where certain apps will disappear during certain windows of time. For more information, please contact Ms. Leggett at sleggett@glacharter.org.
Counting Down to the PSSA!
We are 31 school days away from the PSSA tests! Our teachers and staff have been working diligently since the beginning of the year to prepare your scholars though aligned content and practice opportunities. Each year we roll out a theme to energize and build the confidence of our scholars. This year’s theme is, “Scholars, you are in control of the test!” We’ve started daily challenge questions for each grade to answer and race to the office with the correct answer during morning announcements. Teachers have incorporated PSSA questions into the daily practice of their classes. In April, we will have a pep rally, exciting scholars for the upcoming exams. Scholars know they do not need to be stressed, they simply need to show what they know. They are the ones in control. We are asking for your continued partnership in several ways:
- Daily at-home practice through IRLA steps and iReady
- Through talking with your scholar, build confidence and ease stress by reminding them of all they’ve learned
- Daily on-time attendance so they can receive instruction
We thank you for your support!
