RoBee Report

Dear Global Impact Academy Parents and Students,

Monday is the BIG DAY! We are SO excited about all of the good that will come out of this school year! Thank you all for joining us this week at Open House. We truly hope it was an enjoyable experience as you walked the halls and met your teachers for the year. There will be times for more in depth conversations with your teachers as we go through the year.

We look forward to seeing all of our RoBees, ON TIME and present on the First Day of School, Monday! Use this weekend to catch up on rest and prepare for the start of the year. It all begins with #DayOne!

With excitement and gratitude,
Principal Johnathan Hall
Global Impact Academy

Please see below for this year's bell schedule. Please note that lunch schedules may vary for the first week until we can fully balance out each lunch! Students are expected to be on campus no later than 8:50 am. The school building will open at 8:00 am. All car riders will enter the building through the side door near the gym. This is located on the far right side of the building as you enter the campus.

We will dismiss promptly at 3:55 pm. We ask that car-drivers, please follow the instructions of the staff outside to ensure a smooth and safe dismissal. Parents: please do not park in front of the houses in the neighborhood. It is expected that car-drivers adhere to the following while on GIA's campus:

1. Follow the one-way signage when entering the campus into the traffic lane.
2. Enter into the traffic lanes. Do NOT wait for your student on the other side of the traffic lanes as you will cause traffic to build up.
3. Avoid parking in front of homes in the neighborhood as that is considered private property.
4. Exercise patience and caution as we ensure the safety of our car riders.
5. Drive the appropriate speed limit when entering and exiting school property.

Please see below for transportation information. It is advised that all bus riders be dropped off to their zoned home schools at the location on the image below by the departure time.

Additionally, GIA bus rider students are NOT allowed to walk through the campuses of the home school under any circumstance. Bus riders should immediately make their way to the Global bus pick-up location.

Students will receive their devices within the first three days of school. Please ensure your student is present throughout the beginning of the first week to ensure they receive their device!

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.

Register Today!

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.

Students will be able to view schedules via Infinite Campus Student platform the week of July 27th. If a student requires a schedule change, they must submit the request using the link below. Counselors will only address changes requested using the link and in the order received. The link will go live Monday, July 27th.
