Francophonie celebration

Thank you to everyone who joined us for last week's Francophonie celebration. A video of the LC performance can be viewed here.

Library

Please do not mix school library books with public library books. Several books belonging to GLOBE have been returned to the DeKalb County Public Library and had to be picked up by Ms. Stowe. In the future, any books accidentally returned to the public library will be the patron's responsibility. If not picked up and returned to GLOBE, the book(s) will be considered lost and must be paid for or replaced by the student. Thank you.

LC Clinic

Please ensure that the clinic can reach you during the school day. If your child is ill, it is imperative that the clinic can arrange for pickup. If you are not reachable, the incident will be elevated to the Head of School.

Between March 26 and 28, donations will be collected in any 5th grade homeroom. Suggestions by LifeLine include milk bones, Beggin Strips, Pupperoni, Canine Carry Outs, soft and chewy treats, and Churu cat treats. Thank you on behalf of the 5th grade Girl Scouts.

Responsible parking at Upper Campus

In an effort to be respectful to our Upper Campus neighbors, we request that you use the designated carpool line and do not park or stop on Sunset Drive during morning drop-off / afternoon pick-up. Thank you for your cooperation.

Dress-down Thursdays

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 3. 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. Download the flyer here.
