Francophone culminating event

The Francophone culminating event for parents/guardians will be held on Monday, March 20, from 1:15pm to 2:15pm in the Village Plaza. Come and see our French classrooms celebrate French culture.

Safety first when driving

Please remember that our campus is located in a residential neighborhood. Drive carefully and CREST-fully (and be mindful of the speed limit) on your way to and from school. Since daylight saving started last weekend, the darker mornings have also reduced visibility. It’s crucial that we keep our community and neighbors safe.

LC Connections

Our students recently celebrated several events, including Exceptional Children’s Week and Black History Month. We are pleased to share some posters that students created, below.

MAP Testing, March 20-31

Upper Campus we will be completing the spring MAP tests during the window of March 20-31. It is very important that your student(s) attend school and get a good night's rest during those two weeks.

Milestones testing dates changed to April 19–28.

Parent Resources for Milestones can be found here.

5th grade field trip to La Casona

The 5th grade Spanish track went on a field trip to La Casona restaurant this week. There, the students learned all about "Bandeja Paisa" and other dishes from Antioquia, a region in Colombia.

MTSS at Upper Campus

As Data/MTSS Coach at Upper Campus, Tina Catinella builds the capacity of GLOBE teachers to consistently deliver instruction through a Multi-Tiered System of Supports.

“At staff meetings we have looked at how to find reports available for MAP Growth and how to use those reports and the data available to them to create small groups and differentiate,” Ms. Catinella said. “I also led training on formative and summative assessment and had teachers reflect on the data they have from their classroom assessments and how that data can inform their daily instruction.”

That’s not all. Ms. Catinella also does the following:

• Meets with grade-level teaching teams bi-weekly to discuss student progress, whether or not interventions are working, and any adjustments that need to be made.

• Helps teachers build data literacy and supporting them in data-based decision-making.

• Helps teachers master behaviors in GLOBE’s Vision of Teaching Excellence in their Tier I instruction. (Example: A campus-wide training on vocabulary instruction)

“In addition to working with teachers, I am fortunate that I also work closely with students. I co-teach second-period Georgia Studies with Mr. Brantley, and I work with two Response to Intervention groups — one before and one after school,” she said. “These interactions with students allow me a greater perspective in my role and I believe help me be a better coach.

“Coming from Lower Campus, I have loved getting to know Upper Campus and reconnecting with past students. The school spirit is contagious with all the after-school activities/sports and the students truly display CREST in all that they do.”

A message to middle school families

GLOBE will begin a Sex Education and HIV/AIDS Education unit for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students on Friday, April 14. An email was sent out regarding this. If you did not receive it, please click here to read the notice and complete the 'Parental Notification & Approval Notice'.

Student represents The GLOBE Academy Chorus at Spivey Hall

Kudos to Emma Dargent Cham who was selected from over 100 nominees to represent The GLOBE Academy Chorus at last weekend’s Spivey Hall Honor Choir. Emma spent the day on Clayton State University’s campus collaborating with other exceptional vocalists from the state of Georgia. They ended the evening with a concert in the most coveted performance venue in the metro Atlanta area, Spivey Hall.
