GREENWOOD
LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
A Met Cares School, inspired by, rooted in and measured through the Greenwood spirit of Excellence.
Enrollment for PreK through 5th Grade for the 2021-22 school year is open now!
NOTE: GLA is participating in the “Enroll Tulsa” system through Tulsa Public Schools.
Greenwood Leadership Academy will be following the same transition to in-person learning as Tulsa Public Schools. As a result, we will begin in-person learning options beginning in Quarter 3 (January 25 – April 2). Our phased approach to returning will be as follows:
January 25: PK – 3
February 1: Grade 4 and Grade 5
Please call the school if you would like to make changes to your learning mode for Quarter 3 by Friday, January 15th. You ONLY need to call if you are changing learning modes from Quarter 2. Quarter 3 begins on Monday, January 25th. Scholars return to in-person classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Wednesdays will be distance learning days for all students.
