Today, Senator Elena Parent visited GLOBE's Upper Campus. She learned more about GLOBE's mission and our dual language immersion programs. We are grateful for her visit and continued support for the funding of charter schools.

We’ve raised over $25,000 towards our goal of $140,000. Let’s keep the momentum and get to 100% participation to get Kona Ice during the event. Any amount counts towards participation, so call your friends and family and ask them to support your GLOBE student(s). Everyone gets a 2021 GLOBE Trot buff, and don’t miss out on some awesome prizes, including ticket packages to Zoo Atlanta or to the Atlanta United soccer match on Oct 27.

Visit the event website for more information.

Visit the Student Center for more details on this year’s prizes and watch our school’s barometer and participation rate rise! Need help accessing your student’s GLOBE Trot fundraising page? Email Meghann Adams at madams@theglobeacademy.net for assistance.

Please support those who support GLOBE.

Is there something you've been wondering about GLOBE? Ask away. Executive Director Christi Elliott-Earby and Board Chair Ryan Hudak will answer a selection of community questions in the inaugural edition of our new video series, Whoooo's Wondering, coming soon. Submit your questions here today.

Please review and vote to ratify our current 2021/22 budget. We have included several frequently asked questions to help guide your review. If you have any questions beyond those below, please email us directly. Visit the survey and vote by 11:59pm on Friday, Oct 15. Thank you for participating in the process. Every parent, every teacher and every staff member at GLOBE matters.

We require volunteers to help take down hispanic heritage decorations at the Lower Campus this Friday. Sign up here.

The Used Uniform and Vintage Spirit Wear Sale takes place this Saturday from 11am to 3pm in the Upper Campus parking lot. Help is still required during the afternoon. Sign up here.

We welcome suitable photos for the yearbook. Click here or on the banner below.

User ID is 416725960. Please tell us who is in your photos and which grade they are in.

Thank you to all the families and faculty who volunteered their time to help decorate for Hispanic Heritage Month which comes to a close this Friday. Also, the Art Festival features art that hangs along the staircase near the back carpool area. Please visit our facebook and instagram pages to view images of all the fantastic artwork. There will be a parade on Friday, photos of which will be taken and posted online for parents.

Masks: Always carry a spare. Ensure it's a good fit and covers both mouth and nose.
Parking: Avoid parking on Briarwillow Dr. It makes pedestrian crossing especially difficult.

Our GLOBE 5th graders wrote biographies about prominent and influential people of hispanic heritage. Teachers will be sending out videos to showcase how we celebrated and learned about Hispanic culture and heritage in classrooms.

Middle School 1st Quarter Progress Reports will be available in Infinite Campus. Grades will all be finalized by the end of the day, Oct 15. Parents should make sure they are looking at Term 1-1 for Progress Report grades. These grades capture a moment in time, and will continue to be updated through the end of the term.

Briarcliff Road crossing: We ask that parents of AM walkers escort your student(s) all the way to the crosswalk/traffic light and ensure they use the crossing safely. Yellow flags are available to assist students in crossing this dangerous intersection safely. It is unlawful and unsafe to cross in the middle of the block. Please stay safe.

Breakfast: Served from 7:30am to 7:55am, students wishing to eat breakfast at school should arrive early enough to complete their meal within the allotted time.

Volleyball ended their season 7-3 this year. We are extremely proud of the players and coaches. Congratulations on a great season. Boy’s soccer is currently in 3rd place and looking good to make the playoffs. Semi-final game will be Tuesday, Oct 19 and finals on Oct 21. Teams to be decided. Go Owls!

Basketball tryouts

Tryouts will take place on Friday, Oct 15, 3:30pm to 5:30pm for boys and Monday, Oct 18 from 3:30pm to 5:30pm for girls. Everyone must register and have a physical on file to participate. Register here.

A link will be sent out via email to view at game time.

The yearbook would love to receive your photos. Please email them directly.

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. Be sure to read the most recent Vol. 8 COVID Communiqué by clicking here. Email questions to health@theglobeacademy.net.

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. Click here to download the COVID handbook.

We now have a limited number of spaces available. If you are in need of aftercare please email us at cclines@theglobeacademy.net.

There are several ways we communicate with GLOBE families, and we are continuing to work to improve their effectiveness. In addition to this newsletter, be sure the channels below are on your radar.

• Weekly teacher emails: Every Friday, you will receive an email from each of your child's teachers, with details on what they're doing at school. Not receiving these? Please let us know. (You can of course email the teachers with any questions, too.)
  
• Remind text alerts: Remind is a service that we use to send time-sensitive alerts via text message. (There's also an app available.) If you haven't yet signed up for this, please do so by texting @globers to 81010 for whole school updates.

  For Upper Campus messages, send a text message to 81010 with the message @ucgl

  For Lower Campus messages, send a text message to 81010 with the message @lcgl

• GLOBE website: This is a go-to source for enduring information. (There's a search option in the top right corner to make it easier to find what you need.)
• GLOBE Facebook page: Don't use social media? No problem. While we know Facebook is useful for many, any critical information shared here will also be shared on other channels.

All meetings of the Board of Directors are open to the community. You can find the full calendar of board meetings here. In advance of each meeting, the board will publish the meeting agenda and issue a call for public comments, and after each meeting, minutes and a video link to the meeting will be shared.

GLOBE's governing board comprises volunteers who lead committees focused on Academics, Communication, Development, Diversity, Facilities, Finance, and Strategic Planning; this year, a committee will also convene to renew GLOBE's charter. If you are interested in serving on a committee, please contact board chair Ryan Hudak.

This newsletter is intended for the families of GLOBE students. Please share your feedback, so we can continue to improve how we disseminate information about what's happening at school.

As always, you can find the school menu (remember, lunch and breakfast are free for all who want them this year!), the academic calendar, and the family handbook on our website.
