GLA...When They See Us
Message from the CEO and Principal
As of today we just welcomed back our 1st - 8th grade scholars and we eagerly await our Kindergarten scholars who will join us on Monday. This year's theme is "GLA...When They See Us". It is our goal that when the world sees GLA scholars, that they see greatness! We are committed to defining ourselves for ourselves and equipping our scholars with the tools to be able to compete internationally. We look forward to partnering with you in this effort!
Wednesday will remain our parent communication day, and we encourage you to set aside some time each week to read "Parent Connections". Our weekly parent newsletter will be emailed out and also posted on our website.
We thank you for choosing GLA and entrusting us with your treasures. We do not take lightly the opportunity to serve you. We look forward to partnering with you to make this a GREAT school year for all!
Educationally Yours,
Dr. Booker and Principal Tyler

MEET OUR NEW TRUANCY PREVENTION COORDINATOR
Greetings! My name is Mr. Tyrone Jessie and I am the proud Truancy Prevention Coordinator at Global Academies.
My primary responsibility is to ensure that your scholars are present every day; but in order for this to happen I need the assistance of all parents and caregivers. As you are aware, in order for children to do well in school, they are required to attend school at a 95% rate during the calendar year. Global Academies’ responsibility is to create a welcoming and stimulating learning environment that fosters the academic development of each scholar. It is the responsibility of the parent (or guardian) to make sure that the scholar is at school on time, well-rested and ready to learn each day.
I am looking forward to working with all of the families of Global Academies. Let’s have an amazing school year. At any time if you have any questions or concerns regarding your scholars attendance please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at tjessie@ga-schools.org.
Our Scholars Are Back and We See Their Greatness!
