Georgia Milestones begin tomorrow, Thursday, April 23

Georgia law requires that all students in grades 3–8 take the Georgia Milestones: End of Grade (EOG) in the content areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics. In addition, students in grade 5 will take Science, and students in grade 8 will take Science and Social Studies.

It is imperative that students attend school each day and arrive on time so they will not miss any sections of this important assessment.

We are thrilled to announce that acclaimed children’s poet, actor, and author Charles Waters will be ​joining us for this special event. If you’d like to order a copy of Charles’s books for him to sign that evening, please complete this form. After Charles’s presentation, families will eat dinner provided by GLOBE's PTCC and participate in hands-on activity stations where we’ll create books, share songs and rhymes from home, and celebrate language and literacy! RSVP here by Friday, May 8.

Lower Campus Clinic

Regardless of age, every child at Lower Campus should have a change of clothes in their backpack, including socks and underwear.

Please be on the lookout for lice. It is spring and therefore we should expect an uptick in ALL the bugs, including our clean hair loving friends! If you find live lice on your child's head, they must be successfully treated before returning to school. The lice policy can be found on page 17 of the Student and Family Handbook.

LC Library End-of-Year Reminder

The final day for student book checkout will be Thursday, April 30. As we begin preparing for end‑of‑year inventory, we ask that all library books be returned by Friday, May 22. Per the Library Contract signed at the beginning of the year, any books not returned must be either paid for or replaced. Returning books on time helps us keep our collection complete and ready for next year’s readers.Thank you for supporting our library and helping students build responsible borrowing habits. Please reach out to Ms. Stowe with any questions.
