Dear GPA Families,
Thursday Academy is our after school program for academic tutoring, behavioral support, and more.
Thursday Academy is an afterschool program where students will be supervised by Great Path Academy staff. Students can bring any homework assignment or group project to work on. They will have access to staff, tutors, and peer mentors to help complete work or provide additional support. They may also use this time and space to work on group projects, read, SAT Prep, make-up assignments, and complete individual work, and work on academic and behavioral skills in line with social and emotional learning principles.
We also provide students with a snack/meal provided from Hartford Public Schools to help them concentrate. This meal will be given out at 3:30pm. Students MUST inform Mrs. Sharp they are staying each week to be counted in our meal counts.
Time: 2:10pm-4:20pm each Thursday (if the program is cancelled for any given week, we will notify students and parents)
Students do NOT have to attend every week but it is open for when they need support. This is a ONE time permission slip saying they can attend any Thursday during the school year.
We expect students to behave appropriately during Thursday Academy. We reserve the right to exclude your child in the event of a serious disciplinary offense in accordance with HPS policy. Students must comply with all school rules in accordance with HPS Climate and Culture Core Values
Students must all be picked up from the school entrance by 4:20pm. Students cannot remain in the building after this time. Please ensure students have a ride home. We can also provide city bus passes for students with permission. If students are consistently picked up after the 4:20pm end time, they will be asked not to attend the program.
Permission Slips are Due to Ms. Sharp!
