Yearbook Recognition Ads
Now is the time to design your 8th grade Recognition ad. You may feature your
8th grader individually or in a group.
We call these friend ads. Friend ads are 8th grade ads that highlight the strong bonds and friendships forged at GLOBE.
A great way to preserve the memory of the times friends had together, examples of friend ads include sports teams, friend groups, clubs, or just fun photos!

We are seeking volunteers
to help celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month!

One of the ways we celebrate is by decorating the homeroom classroom doors. Usually, volunteers come in to decorate directly on the door. But due to our current COVID-related visitor's policy, we have to change things up this year and have the following volunteer opportunities....

We're still in need of 13 more families to volunteer to decorate a door. If you're interested, please read more information and sign up at this link.

We also need volunteers to help with the LC Front Door Decoration (4 people) before 9/27

Helpers are also required to help with various roles on October 15th - see slots and times. Roles include handrail decorators, putting out flags, video recording, photographers, etc.

Thank you to all our volunteers!
Carpool drop-off and pick-up reminder...
Please DO NOT park on Briarwillow Drive. This has been in the Family Handbook for the past few years. Parking there, particularly in the afternoon, makes pedestrian crossing especially difficult.

The COVID Corner
Thank you to all of our parents and staff for your vigilance in keeping GLOBE's COVID policies and procedures and for your support as we work to create the safest on-campus environment as possible. It remains incredibly important to stay vigilant: keep wearing those masks over your mouth and nose, and wash your hands well.
Be sure to read the most recent Vol. 7 COVID Communiqué

Email questions:



What to do if you or your child have tested positive or had close contact with someone who is positive:

Please contact the appropriate school nurse, Lindsay Reese (Lower Campus) or Cherrie Robinson (Upper Campus), immediately.
From our Nurses:

  1. Please remember to notify the nurse as well as the teachers if you are keeping your child home due to illness.
  2. 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.
  3. If you have your child Covid-tested, please email the result (positive or negative) to the nurse.
  4. We ONLY accept PCR test results. Rapid antigen test results are not acceptable.

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.
