Dear Global Impact Academy Parents and Students,
We are gaining momentum and for that I am grateful to our community for continuing to show up, be on time, and engage in the learning process! I am seeing some great things inside and outside of the classroom that are promises of a great year!
As we are getting into the core of our business, teaching and learning, I want to stress the importance of tutorial sessions. Tutorial is a valuable tool that can directly impact the academic success of students. Please see our tutorial schedule below and reach out to your student's teacher with any questions regarding tutorial.
With excitement and gratitude,
Principal Johnathan Hall

State Superintendent Advisory Council Application- NOW OPEN
State School Superintendent Richard Woods seeks students in grades 10-12 to serve on his 2026-2027 Student Advisory Council. These students will meet with Superintendent Woods to discuss the impact of state policies in the classroom and other education-related issues. They will serve as the Superintendent's ambassadors to their respective schools.
"One of the most important parts of my job is listening to students," Superintendent Woods said. "The Student Advisory Council allows me to hear directly from young people about their experiences, challenges, and ideas for the future of education in Georgia. These students serve as ambassadors for their schools and communities, and their perspectives help ensure student voices remain at the center of our work. I encourage eligible students from across Georgia to apply and share their unique viewpoints."
Any Georgia student in grades 10-12 may complete an application to be considered for the Student Advisory Council. The application includes short essay prompts that allow students to share their ideas for public education.
The Student Advisory Council will meet four times in person during the school year; meeting dates will be posted on the Student Advisory Council webpage.
The 2026-2027 Student Advisory Council application is available online. Student applicants must apply by September 4, 2026, at 5 p.m. Late applications will not be accepted.
Georgia students in grades 10-12 are eligible to apply.
Selected students will be contacted via email. All students may visit the Student Advisory Council webpage on October 2, 2026, at 10 a.m. to determine if they have been selected.
Please note that each year we typically receive hundreds more applications than we can accept. Not being selected for the Student Advisory Council does not mean the student's application did not meet the qualifications.
OSP has now changed to SchoolCash Online!
Fulton County Schools is excited to introduce SchoolCash Online — a convenient, secure way for families and students to pay online for school fees. Introduced during the 2026-2027 school year, this new platform reduces cash and check handling in schools, and it offers families and students a convenient, secure way to pay online.
In July 2026, Fulton County Schools families received an email invitation from SchoolCash Online with a unique link to register. Once registered, families will be able to access their students’ items, manage payments, and track history all in one place. Even if families don’t plan to make purchases right away, all families are encouraged to create an account to stay informed.
FLEX Fridays 26-27
Please see the flyer for all of the FLEX Friday dates for the 26-27 School Year! Please note: It is mandatory for students in the selected group to be in attendance for the FLEX Friday that applies to them. For the Pathway-specific dates, students should choose their primary pathway to attend.
The Amnesty Day FLEX Friday for December is optional and will be used for students who need additional assistance (catch up, make up missed assignments/tests and tutorial) before we go into Finals.
More information to come!
