Last week, during the Lower Campus Francophonie Celebration, GLOBE was awarded the LabelFrancÉducation distinction by the French Ministry of Education, marking the third time the school has earned this recognition for excellence in French bilingual education. This highly selective designation reflects a rigorous and comprehensive application process. To commemorate the occasion, Mr. Fabrice Rozié, Director of Villa Albertine and Cultural Attaché, attended in person to present the award during our celebration.

We extend our sincere thanks to the team who led the extensive application process in March 2025: Mme. Sandra A. Daniel, Director of Language Program; Mme. Pascale Datta, Lower Campus Gifted Coordinator; Mme. Tiphaine Chauvel, Lower Campus French Coach and Third Grade Lead Teacher; Mme. Daphna Malka, Middle School Lead Teacher; and Mme. Bénédicte Juston, former GLOBE Lead Teacher.

Dress Down Days

Help our 8th grade students raise money for their trip to Savannah by bringing $1 to dress down (out of uniform) each Thursday until April 2. Please adhere to DeKalb County dress code rules. Parent volunteers will be collecting money at the school entrances of both campuses. Please make every effort to bring the exact change. Thank you for your support.

Lower Campus

Morning Arrival

Beginning on Monday, April 13, the carpool line will end right at 8am. To prepare, please begin arriving on campus at or before 7:45am so that you have plenty of time to drop off your child before instruction begins right at 8am. All cars entering the lot after 8am will need to park and come into the Community building to sign in their child.

LC GLOBE Arts Night - Thursday, April 16, 2026

Enjoy an evening of artwork created by all students at Lower Campus and a special musical performance by 4th grade students. Food will be available for purchase, so bring your family and enjoy an evening celebrating the arts with the GLOBE community!

Volunteers: If you would like to volunteer to help prepare artwork, organize, or set up, please send an email to mcottrell@theglobeacademy.net. Thank you.

LC Clinic

Regardless of age, every child at LC should have a change of clothes in their backpack, including socks and underwear. The clinic stocks limited sizes in limited quantities. If your child is muddy or dirty and needs a change of clothes from the clinic, you will likely receive a call to either bring clothes or pick up your student.

As we move into the warmer months, the air quality can decrease. If your student has allergies, the recommended time to start an allergy medication is now. Please ensure that your student feels well enough to actually be in school. Thank you.

GLOBE's Chorus will be singing at the Georgia Board of Education Board Meeting on Thursday, March 26 at 9:00 am. We invite GLOBE families and community members to come along and show your support. All members of the GLOBE community are welcome—whether your student participates in chorus, band, orchestra, or another part of our school community, we would love to have you there cheering them on. Time and Location: 9:00am | Georgia Department of Education. 2070 Twin Towers East, 205 Jesse Hill Jr. Drive, SE, Atlanta, Georgia 30334.
