Lower Campus

Facilities and Safety Survey

As we begin our second semester at the new Lower Campus, it’s great to see everyone settling in and school happening each and every day.

From a facilities and safety standpoint, we'd love to hear any questions, feedback, or concerns you may have. Our goal is to compile this information into an FAQ document that highlights both the updates already completed and the plans moving forward, as we continue working to make the Lower Campus the best possible environment for our students and staff. Please submit feedback using this form.

LC Library

New Book Returns Courtesy of the PTCC

Thanks to the generosity of the PTCC, the Lower Campus Library has acquired book return bins for every building. These bins will make it easier for students to return their library books. Once a student finishes their book, they need only drop it in the book return in their building. Ms. Stowe has been going over proper procedures for using the book returns during library visits. Please be sure to thank GLOBE's PTCC for making library book borrowing even more accessible at GLOBE!

Overdue Notices

If you have a question or concern about a library book overdue notice, please reach out to Ms. Stowe directly. Overdue emails are automatically sent via our library system, and Ms. Stowe will not see your reply if you reply directly to the overdue notice. Ms. Stowe can be reached by email, here.

LC Clinic

If your child tests positive for Flu A, Flu B , Covid, Norovirus or Strep, please let the nurse know. These are outbreaks that we track and report. All medical information is confidential and covered under HIPAA. Please ensure that you are reachable and have a plan if the nurse contacts you to pick up your sick child. All ill children should be collected within one hour if at all possible. Thank you.
