Last weekend GLOBE teachers participated in the Georgia Dual Language Immersion Institute (GADII), engaging in professional learning focused on effective practices in dual language immersion. The institute provided an opportunity for teachers to learn from other DLI educators, share classroom practices, and bring back strategies for their work with GLOBE students. A special shoutout to Sr. Yulyan Anderson, MS Spanish teacher and BLT, and Ms. Sandra A. Daniel, Director of Language Program for having accepted proposals to present. Staff presenting and attending reflects our dedication to the success of DLI in Georgia.

GLOBE has been allowing students to attend the Before Care program without registration and fee payment while we implement the new financial assistance process to make sure things are running smoothly. The process is now operating successfully and therefore the grace period for attending Before Care, while we await registration and/or requests for financial assistance, will end on September 4, 2026.

Starting on September 8, all students must be registered and have paid the appropriate fee in order to participate in Before Care. Please click HERE to apply for financial assistance.

If you have already applied for financial assistance, keep a look out for emails from Denise Clayton-Purvis, GLOBE's CFO, at cfo@theglobeacademy.net. You will receive follow-up requests for documentation and your approval notification from this email address.

For more information regarding the Before Care program, email Cathy Clines.
For questions regarding Financial Assistance, email Denise Clayton-Purvis.

Thank you to all the parents/guardians who attended last night's Curriculum Night at LC.

A reminder that tomorrow (8/27) is Picture Day at Lower Campus.

Before students can borrow books, a parent or guardian must complete the Library Contract.

If you have multiple children attending GLOBE, you only need to submit one form for your family. Please be sure all information is accurate before submitting, as incorrect or incomplete information may delay your child’s ability to check out library books. Thank you for helping us get our library year off to a great start! Complete the Library Checkout Contract here.

Please note that checkout will be available only to 1st to 5th grades.

For families that utilize GLOBE’s Walker option, Clairmont Presbyterian Church invites you to relax in their atrium, youth lounge, or lobby, while you wait for dismissal, from 1:40pm. See their flyer for details. Please note this is for walker families only.

A reminder that any toys or objects that may resemble fake weapons of any kind are never permitted on campus. We are also asking parents/guardians to speak with their children about always telling an adult if they see a classmate with a fake toy weapon. Thank you.

As we enter the new school year, please review the sick policies in the parent handbook (from page 17). Please do not send your child to school if they are not feeling well and ensure that we have the BEST way to reach you in case of an emergency. Please also send an ENTIRE set of spare clothes to school with your child, even for grades 3, 4, and 5. Thank you.

Visit the UC parking lot on Saturday morning (8/29) and have your car washed, all in support of GLOBE's Chorus and Orchestra's trip to attend a workshop at Universal Studios in November. The cost per vehicle is $15 (and up). You can also support their fundraiser by clicking here. Thank you!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the ice-cream social last week at UC. It was wonderful to see everyone. The Night Owls gave their first performance of the season and we are pleased to include a video, here.

It was also a chance to test out the new decking/stage are in the newly renovated outside area at Upper Campus. Thank you to GLOBE’s PTCC for hosting the event.

Finding Ollie is a video series created by Mr Brantley's 8th grade Leadership and Communications class. Now entering its 4th season, the series is produced with the school spirit in mind. As the episodes unfold, all of Upper Campus' incredible students will get a chance to share their light. Season 4's promo video can be viewed here.

Students took part in the engaging and thought provoking – CSI Lab – earlier today. It was actually a lesson about lab safety and what not to do. We are delighted to include a few pictures from their investigations!
