8th Grade Minnesota Trip Refunds

The 8th grade trip has been cancelled. We expect to be able to offer refunds for all payments made minus a $30 per person processing fee to the travel agency. Refunds will be issued via PayPal and check (dependent on method of original payment) by the first week in May. All questions regarding payments and refunds should be directed to Mrs. Limor ( [email protected] ).

Ambassadors

We are still looking for current GLOBE families with rising Kindergartners and 6th graders to serve as ambassadors for our new community members. In the coming weeks we will create digital platforms to welcome our new students this spring. GLOBE’s goal is to continue the tradition of summer playdates if possible. Please contact Meg Brown, Admissions director, if you are interested in serving as an Ambassador. [email protected]

Chromebook Reminders

During school closures, please be attentive to Chromebook functionality, as Chromebooks will be the primary source of academic access for most students. Use the @theglobeacademy.net email account to log in to the Chromebook from home. Student devices remain under school filtering policies even off-site.

If you are unable to access a website or link, or there is any issue with Chromebook functionality during the school closure, please send an email to [email protected] that fully describes the problem (in detail). Include contact information for prompt response. Let teacher(s) know if this problem will prohibit turning in work on time.

GLOBE Host Families Wanted

French Teaching Intern Host Families are needed for 2020-2021. Please contact Robyn Brandman, Host Family liaison for details, [email protected] .
