From the Principal

Dear Global Village Academy Families,

Spring has officially sprung at Global Village Academy Douglas County, and we’re heading into a busy and exciting time of year!

A huge thank you to all of the incredible student performers, dedicated teachers, and wonderful parent volunteers who helped make our Le Monde Francophone event at GVA-A a success. It was a fantastic evening filled with food, fun, and free entertainment- a true celebration of French-speaking cultures!

Douglas County Libraries treated all GVA students to a special in-school field trip this morning. The Page to the Stage performance of Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White brought this beloved classic to life in an engaging and interactive way that our students thoroughly enjoyed.

As we head into the final stretch of the school year, we want to remind our students and families of a few important expectations:

  • Be present and on time every day
  • Follow the dress code
  • Show respect and responsibility inside and outside the classroom
  • Be ready to learn and finish strong!

We know how quickly this time of year fills up, so we’ve created an End-of-Year Calendar to help with your family’s planning. Please note that all dates are subject to change.
