GGA Vaccination Post

Get Your Child Vaccinated at a School Based Health Center!

School Based Health Centers are now open to the community for routine pediatric and COVID-19 vaccinations until August 25, 2023. Students age 3 and older can receive all school-required vaccinations, including the COVID-19 vaccine. For adolescents 12 years and older, COVID-19 is now required for school attendance. Parents/guardians are welcome to get their COVID-19 vaccines too! Vaccine appointments are available at School Based Health Centers for all students, regardless of where they are enrolled. To make an appointment, call the number at the location nearest you, or use the QR code on the attached flyer to schedule an appointment online.

Be sure to make your appointment soon because limited spots are available. Your child will need a second dose of the COVID-19 Vaccine 3 weeks after the first dose.

Consent forms will be provided at the appointment.
Please contact the SBHC where you would like to schedule your appointment with any further questions regarding consent.

GGA New Cell Phone Policy Effective November 22nd, 2021


Dear Parent(s)/ Guardian(s) and Student(s),

Girls Global Academy is committed to creating a school culture where students are able to uphold our four pillars: Sisterhood, Scholarship, Safety and Service. In order to ensure that GGA students are able to receive uninterrupted learning time; effective Monday, November 29th, 2021, there will be a change in our cell phone policy and procedure. 

Our current mobile cell phone and electronic devices policy states “Mobile (cell) phones, iPads, smart watches, or other electronic devices are not allowed to be used during the instructional day. If a student brings a cell phone to school, it must be kept in their locker.” Unfortunately, this has not been upheld and has been detrimental to our school culture.

Listed below are the reasons for this change: 

  • Reducing social stress and anxiety 
  • Maximizing classroom learning and instructional time 
  • Promoting face to face interaction 
  • Decreasing digital misconduct resulting in student altercation
  • Encouraging appropriate phone and technology usage  

Please read the new policy change attached to this email. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter!

Together,

GGA Leadership Team
