There's just one week left until the start of the 2023/24 school year!

Orientation Day will be held on Monday, August 7. You can visit either campus at any time between 7:30am and 12:30pm.

The purpose of GLOBE Orientation is to provide you with back-to-school resources and build our partnership with you and your student(s) prior to the first day of school.

Be sure to drop by to do the following:

• Visit your campus and classrooms

• Learn homeroom assignments

• Meet your teachers

• Drop off school supplies

• Get GLOBE gear (read our uniform policy here)

• Shop spirit wear

• Shop gently used uniforms

• Meet campus nurses and drop off student health forms and medication (if required)

• Learn about our Athletics program and participation requirements

• Connect with PTCC (Parent Teacher Community Council)

• Donate to the Annual Fund

• Register for Extended Care Program (ECP) and/or Enrichments

Please be mindful when parking, as it does get busy, and remember to be courteous to our neighbors in the community.
