The GLOBE Academy is monitoring the forecast for severe weather this coming weekend. Please make sure you have registered to receive our school-wide text notifications. Text @globers to 81010.

GLOBE follows DeKalb County School District decisions on weather related emergencies. If a potentially hazardous event occurs prior to the beginning of the school day, we recommend you tune in to local radio or television broadcasts (WSB-TV Channel 2 is a great resource), check local news networks, GLOBE's website, social media, etc. for information.

Each year Georgia Department of Education gives families the opportunity to provide important feedback regarding school climate.

This information is part of GLOBE's CCRPI score with the state and participation is very important. To complete the survey, click here. Thank you in advance for your participation.

GLOBE is holding two 'Meet the Board' events, the first will take place at 8:30am on Friday, February 13, at Kin Coffee, 5352 Peachtree Road, Chamblee, and the second on March 2 at Einstein’s, 2870 N Druid Hills Rd NE, at 1:30pm.

It's a chance to meet current board members in a casual setting, to find out more about the various roles, and learn about upcoming opportunities where you can get involved.

Dunwoody Nature Center is hosting a group of students from L.I.S.E. Academy in Guadeloupe, French West Indies, for their Spring Break program at the Island Ford Unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. The day camp is for ages 9-13 years old and operates from 9:30am to 3:30pm each day from April 6 – 10.

Dunwoody Nature Center is reaching out to schools in the Atlanta area with French-speaking programs to encourage interaction between international and local students. You can view the camp guidebook here. To register, click here. Note, this camp is run by Dunwoody Nature Center and is not affiliated with The GLOBE Academy.

GLOBE’s counselors are truly grateful to be part of this community and value the partnership we share with families. To help identify schoolwide trends and better support students across our campuses, we are inviting you to complete a brief parent survey.

Your feedback will help provide understanding and insight and strengthen how GLOBE's counselors partner together to meet students’ social-emotional needs. The parent survey link is below, and I appreciate you taking a few moments to share your perspective.

Thank you for your continued trust and collaboration.

Become a Reading Renegade in 2026

Little Shop of Stories is launching a year‑long Reading Renegades challenge, and our school community is invited to join! The mission: spend a little less time on screens and a little more time connecting through books, stories, and shared reading.

Participants can join as individuals or as a team (families, classrooms, grade levels, or groups of teachers). You’ll set a reading goal, track your progress, attend fun bookish events, and earn points all year long. Prizes will be awarded throughout the challenge, and everyone who completes it will be honored on the Reading Wall of Fame at Little Shop of Stories!

Flu cases, as well as other respiratory illnesses, are on the rise in metro Atlanta. If your student is not feeling well, please ensure they are well enough to actually be at school. Please also review the Fever and Vomit policies located in the family handbook on page 17.

Flu A (H3N2) is circulating on campus. Symptoms are rapid onset, and include a headache, nausea/vomiting, and a sudden high fever, sometimes as high as 104 degrees F/40 degrees C. If your student is showing any of these symptoms please keep them at home while they recover.
