Parents: Want to get involved?
Dear GPS Global Academy students and parents,
One of our school's goals this year is to continue to build out our connections with our community and families to help make our school the pre-eminent choice for online education in Arizona. We would love to partner with our families to ensure that together we're meeting the needs of our students to the best of our abilities.
If you're interested in becoming part of a parent support organization, please send an email to despina.hobeheidar@gilbertschools.net. Once we have established how much interest there is, we will reach out with a date to host our first parent meeting!

Mark your calendars! Global Academy will have an official Picture Day from 8am to 12noon on this day! Students will receive a Student ID soon after taking their picture. A Student ID will be required for entry into our campus, including class activities, tutoring, and final exams.

Updated Final Exam Procedure or 7th - 12th graders
All students are required to take their final exams in a proctored environment; we will no longer allow parents to proctor students' exams. Students who meet very specific criteria will be allowed to take their exam via Webex with a member of our staff.
FREE 24/7 tutoring available to 7th-12th gradestudents!
As an online student, the first person to ask for help in understanding an assignment is your teacher. If needed, there is a free service called NetTutor which connects students to a live tutor to receive help.
