Phone Calls From GCOM

GCOM is pleased to have officially launched our new automated calling system. This is just one way that we are trying to improve our communication with parents. We will utilize this system for weather delays and closings, as well as important notifications and reminders. The system can send out messages via phone, text, and even email. **Please note that whether it be the automated calling system or one of our staff calling, that it may take a couple of minutes for a voicemail to appear. It is best to see if you get a voicemail to know whether we require a call back or not, and if we do, you will then know who called you.** If you have any questions on this calling system or need to update your phone number, please let us know.

***Now Accepting 2020-2021 School Year Applications**

Parents can now apply for students for grades K-9 for the 2020-2021 school year If you have a student or sibling of a current student and would like to enroll them in GREEN Charter, they still must apply through this application We will give priority to siblings, so please be sure to list your current student's name and grade level on the application Parents of current students DO NOT need to apply online with this application.
