Global Communications Academy

Welcome to Global Communications Academy! 

We are delighted that your child has received an invitation to attend our Open Choice School for the 2022-2023 School Year.  We have taken steps we hope will simplify the acceptance and registration process. To secure your child’s seat for the upcoming school year, please follow the process below.    

1. Accept your child’s seat by logging in to your RSCO account and adhere to the RSCO deadline. We encourage you to submit your response as soon as possible. 
   • Please note: if you opt to decline the placement seat, your child will not receive another placement offer for the 2022-2023 school year.
2. Once you have accepted your child’s seat, it is important to note that registration is a 2-Step process.

• • Step 1:  Complete the Hartford Public Schools (HPS) Open Choice online registration.  If you have difficulty with the registration process, please contact Jimena Stevenson at Jimena.Stevenson@hartfordschools.org 
  • Step 2: Upon completion of the HPS Open Choice registration process, families will receive an email from Open Choice Program Office within five (5) business days with instructions for completing their child’s CREC PowerSchool registration. It is only after families complete both the Open Choice Program and CREC PowerSchool registrations that their child’s transportation will be assigned.
