by 11th GradeCommunityEventsLatest NewsNewslettersParentsStudents

At Girls Global Academy, we are committed to the health and safety of our students. As the Dec. 9 Districtwide exclusion date approaches, families with students in pre-K 3, kindergarten, 7th grade, and 11th grade need to ensure they meet the District’s immunization requirements. To support this effort, we’ve gathered important information about upcoming immunization opportunities for families.
