A message from our Director of Operations
Dear GLOBE community,
I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend. Please take some time to read through this week's newsletter. I would like to draw your attention to tomorrow morning's parent coffee talk which focuses on safety and security. Both Lower Campus and Upper Campus parents are welcome to attend. We also have a new member of staff joining us who will be assisting with traffic support.
Parent Coffee Talk - Safety and Security
This week's Parent Coffee Talk takes place tomorrow morning at 8:30am in the Upper Campus cafeteria. You will have the chance to meet our primary School Resource Officer, ask pertinent questions, and find out more about safety and security at GLOBE.
Upper Campus traffic support
We are delighted to introduce a new member of our team, Mr. Kersaint, who will be providing traffic support at Upper Campus during afternoon carpool. This means that Upper Campus will now be able to accommodate left turns out of the carpool exit. Please be sure to use your turn signal to indicate whether you would like to turn left or right so that Mr. Kersaint can assist. Thank you, please drive carefully and remember our CREST values.
We are grateful to you for entrusting us with your children, and we want you to know that their safety is our number one priority.
In community,
Jen Parker
Director of Operations
Every grade has started their first unit of Science. The science units are Weather (1st grade), Causes and Effects of Changes to the Environment (2nd grade) and Heat and Heat Transfer (3rd grade). Look for a special day and night project from Kindergarten and ask what they learned about nocturnal animals from their ‘Who’s Awake at Night?’ puppet show on September 5 or September 14.
Cub Scouts
GLOBE Cub Scout Pack 345 are excited to announce their kickoff pack meeting which will be held on Sunday, September 10, at Lower Campus (on Charles McDaniel Park), at 2pm. They are proudly offering the Cub Scout adventure to boys and girls and are headquartered right here at The GLOBE Academy.
During the meeting, they will be introducing the upcoming year's adventures and outlining what families can expect. If you are a new family interested in joining or learning more, you are most welcome to attend. For additional details and resources, please visit their official website, here.
