Principal's Welcome

Welcome to our school! We believe that parent participation is key to student success; our new website is designed to provide parents with all the information they need to be active participants in their student’s education. You will find that the site works just as well on mobile devices as it does on a desktop so you can find information on the go.

Save the Date: Real Men Read!

Glades Academy Charter School is excited to invite the important male role models in our students’ lives to join us for Real Men Read! in celebration of Dr. Seuss Week.

📅 Friday, March 5, 2027
⏰ 8:00–9:00 AM
📍 Glades Academy Charter School

Dads, uncles, brothers, grandpas, stepdads, neighbors, coaches, and other positive male role models are invited to spend a special morning with our students. Guests will begin by enjoying breakfast with their child and will then visit one or two classrooms to read to students.

Our goal is simple: show our children that real men read, mentor, inspire, and lead! Your presence can help build a love of reading while showing students the power of positive role models.

Save the date and help us celebrate literacy, family, and community!

FY27 Title I Schoolwide Plan (SWP)

Glades Academy Charter School is committed to providing every student with equitable access to high-quality instruction, targeted academic support, and meaningful opportunities for success. Our 2026–2027 Title I Schoolwide Plan (SWP) outlines how Title I resources will be used to address identified student needs and support continuous school improvement.

The plan includes targeted Tier 2 and Tier 3 reading and mathematics interventions, small-group differentiated instruction, i-Ready resources for students in grades K–8, instructional materials, and resources designed to strengthen parent and family engagement.

We invite our parents, families, staff, and community partners to review the FY27 Title I Schoolwide Plan and learn more about how Glades Academy is investing in student achievement and family engagement.
