Happy Wednesday!
Thank you to all the parents for attending Curriculum Night. If you were unable to join us please reach out to your child's teachers to access any resources you may have missed. We appreciate you being in partnership with us as we work together to help your child grow.
We have a board meeting this coming Monday, August, 30th. Please reference this email sent earlier in the week for the link and details so that you can attend virtually.
We are excited that we are able to offer breakfast and lunch to all of our students. We are still asking everyone to please fill out the free and reduced application even if you are unsure if your family will qualify. This information is confidential, is shared with the state, and it reports all of our data to show the percentage of economically disadvantaged students. This helps show that we are working towards our charter goal of increasing our socioeconomic diversity.

Sincerely,
Christi Elliott-Earby

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.

Order Your 2021-2022 Yearbook
Ollie is a wise owl. He knows that GLOBE has come full circle. Our very first kindergarten students will be 8th graders this year and he can't wait to see how they are celebrated in the 2021-22 yearbook. He knows that you and your child will want one, too!
Why buy now?
Two great reasons:
- You are guaranteed to get a book.
- $30 is the lowest price of the year. The price goes up in September.
How do I order?
Yearbook Recognition Ads - Now is the time to design your Eighth Grade Recognition ad. You may feature your eighth grader individually or in a group. We call these friend ads. Friend ads are eighth grade ads that highlight the strong bonds and friendships forged at GLOBE. Friend ads are a great way to preserve the memory of the times friends had together. Some examples of friend ads include:
- Sports teams
- Friend groups
- Clubs
- Just fun photos!

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
As a school community we want to show C.R.E.S.T. to our neighbors. If you are parking then walking up to campus to pick up your child, please follow the numerous “No Parking” signs that are on the streets leading to campus. As one example, Briarwillow Drive has clearly marked “No Parking” signs. Therefore, please do not park anywhere on Briarwillow Drive. There are also similar signs on most parts of Heritage Drive. Of special note, there are ‘No Parking’ signs on Heritage Drive once you pass the entrance/exit to Charles McDaniel Park (as you’re approaching the curb where Heritage Drive turns into Meadowvale Drive). It is your responsibility to pay attention to these signs and the details on them. The school will not be responsible for any parking tickets that are issued by the Dekalb County Police Department.
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
Thank you for everything you are doing to help make carpool run smoothly each day! A few notes to make morning and afternoon even better:
AM Carpool
When exiting the carpool line, please refrain from making an immediate left into the park. Traffic backs up behind you and holds up the entire line.
Also, please thank your morning carpool staff, who are coming in before their contracted hours in order to get the line moving!
Remember that drop off ends at 8:00. Students arriving after 8:00 AM will need to be signed in “Tardy” using the QR code at the front gate.
PM Carpool
Thank you for delaying your arrival until 2:30 PM, and for making sure to pull up to the car in front of you!
Now that carpool has smoothed out, anticipate that the line ends no later than 3:45 PM. Students remaining at school after that time will be checked into ECP and can be picked up in the office.

Breakfast is served daily with no pre ordering needed. Please stop by the cafeteria for Grab -n- GO breakfast.Lunch MUST be pre-ordered each day in the homeroom. Students order lunches by informing their HR teacher, when asked during attendance, if they will need school lunch for the day. Lunch will be delivered to the designated areas assigned per grade level and after the student retrieves lunch, will proceed back to their classroom.
