Dear Global Prep Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Global Preparatory Academy! We are thrilled to open our doors for our 10th school year and are so grateful for the continued trust and partnership of our families. This year promises to be filled with exciting learning, strong community, and joyful celebration!

We are excited to welcome Ms. Paula Bell as our Interim K–3 Principal and Mr. Yuri Smith, our new After School Coordinator who will also be leading our After School Spanish Immersion Program and all programming for students after the regular school day. Both new leaders bring a passion for student success and a commitment to our mission. They are looking forward to meeting everyone at next week’s ice cream social on  July 30th from  5:30–7:00 PM. 

A few reminders and updates for the new year. 

1. Kindergarten - 8th grade runs from 7:45AM - 2:45PM, Monday - Friday. This year any student who arrives AFTER 7:55AM will be marked tardy. Please ensure your child gets to school on time to ensure they have access to the entire day of learning. 
2. PreK runs from 7:45AM - 2:30PM. PreK student drop off and pick up is at door # 8 If you have a student in PreK and a student in another grade, they cannot be released at 2:30 during PreK pick-up time. 
3. Transportation changes are made by contacting your child’s teacher either by phone or by note. Last minute transportation changes can be done up until 1:00PM by calling the front office to request the change.
