Global Learning Charter Public School Home

Just three weeks into the new school year, students are adjusting well to our new phone-free culture. Every morning, students power down their phones which are locked in a Yondr pouch until dismissal time. In this brief video, GLCPS Principal Lena Pires and David, a high school senior, discuss their own experience using the Yondr pouch.

The Global Learning Charter Public School (GLCPS) is entering the phone-free zone.
GLCPS has purchased the Yondr system of pouches and unlocking bases. The pouch locks when it’s closed. Users regain access to their phones by tapping the pouch on a device that unlocks it. Students will be able to keep their phone with them but they will not be able to use it during the school day.

The Global Learning Charter Public School (GLCPS) is planning and preparing for the 2024-2025 school year!

To kick off the school year, we are holding our 17th annual Back to School BBQ on Tuesday, August 20th from 5:00-7:00 PM which will be held at our campus (101 Nye Street). We will again have a traditional cookout prepared by Sodexo, our food service provider. 

We encourage all families to attend this event as we distribute necessary school forms and share important information with you regarding homeroom assignments, schedules, transportation and uniforms.

Beginning in the 2024-2025 School Year, GLCPS is going to be a phone-free space using a system called Yondr.

While it is true that phones have great utility, it is also true that  learning and social behavior improve drastically when students are fully engaged with their teachers and classmates.
