Lower Campus
AM Carpool
ALWAYS follow the directions of Sergeant Mark. If the drop-off line gets backed up, he may open up the “flagpole” lot for drop-off as well. Please do not use that option, however, if he does not directly point you towards that lot.
Your child(ren) should be ready to exit the vehicle as soon as a staff member opens the door.
PM Carpool
If you are parking then walking up to campus to pick up your child, please know that the ONLY acceptable parking location is facing west (away from the school) on Heritage Drive. Briarwillow Drive has clearly marked “No Parking” signs from 8a - 3p on school days. Please do not park on Briarwillow Drive or drive down Briarwillow to enter the carpool line in the afternoon.
Please get in the habit of having your carpool tag with you each day. Parents/guardians without the tag will need to park off campus and report to the front office with identification.

Upper Campus
Thanks for a great first week!
Some important notes to help next week run even more smoothly:
AM Carpool
1. Please DO NOT arrive at school prior to 7:25 AM for AM carpool. We cannot start the carpool line until teachers are in place, and when the lot is full, they cannot park and get to their classrooms on time.
2. Please use the time while waiting in carpool line to make sure your student is ready to exit the car. Mask ON, backpack in lap (not in the backseat or the trunk), water bottle and lunch box in hand.
3. Please pull up ALL THE WAY up to the car in front of you. Do NOT let students out while the RED flag is in view. GREEN means you are clear to release your students from the car.
PM Carpool
1. Line up for afternoon carpool begins at 2:30 PM. Any car pulling into the parking lot prior to that time will be directed to leave and return at 2:30.
2. Upon arrival, stop at the carpool cone until directed around the back of the building. Then, wait at the cone on the back side until PE class concludes at 3:05 PM. Coach Lewis will move the cones for you to pull around for pick up.
3. Instructional time ENDS at 3:10 PM. Please be patient as it takes a few moments for students to gather their belongings and get downstairs.

What to do if you or your child have tested positive or had close contact with someone who is positive:
|
|
From our Nurses:
- Please remember to notify the nurse as well as the teachers if you are keeping your child home due to illness.
- If your child has concerning symptoms and you are getting him Covid-tested, his siblings must remain at home until the (hopefully) negative test result is received. If it is positive, please contact the school nurse immediately and of course, siblings must remain at home.
- If you have your child Covid-tested, please email the result (positive or negative) to the nurse.
- We ONLY accept PCR test results. Rapid antigen test results are not acceptable.

2021-2022 Middle School Sports
Attention Parents of Rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders
The GLOBE Athletics Department is excited to announce that sports will resume when we return for the 2021-2022 school year. We will begin with our Fall Sports - Boys Soccer and Girls Volleyball. In order for any student to participate in any sport over the course of the school year, they must have an updated Physical Examination form on file prior to tryouts on 8/16/2021.
Please follow the link below to access the required forms.
(*Physical Forms are valid for a full calendar year after the date signed. For example if you have the physical done in July 2021 it will last through July 2022, and therefore will be valid for any Fall, Winter, and Spring Sports.)
Volleyball Tryouts, Aug 16 & 17th (3:30 - 5:00pm) in Upper Campus Gym.
