Dear GLOBE community,

GLOBE Games takes place this Friday, August 16, from 5:30pm, at Silverbacks Stadium Field. All students, from Kindergarten through 8th grade are invited to register.

The GLOBE Games 'Back 2 School Blowout' is a staff vs students event, sponsored by GLOBE Athletic Club, with the aim of having fun, friendly competition, and socializing. All funds generated at the event go to directly support our young athletes.

Register for the event here or visit the athletics website for more information.

We look forward to seeing you on the field!

In community,

Ice Cream Socials

Let’s have a sweet start to the new year and enjoy some treats at the Ice Cream Social. Parents, caretakers, teachers, staff, students, siblings and friends are welcome.

Lower Campus: Wednesday, August 21, from 3:15pm to 4:45pm.

Upper Campus: Thursday, August 22, from 3:45pm to 5:00pm.

Volunteers required at Ice Cream Socials: Help us make the Ice Cream Social a great success by helping with set up, ice-cream stamps after each student gets an ice cream from the truck, or by cleaning up.

To volunteer, sign up here: Lower Campus | Upper Campus

New Parent Coffee Talks

Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning for the new parent coffee talks.

Carpool Tags Procedure

Carpool tags can be purchased via our QR code or by sending an email to the designated campus (email Lower Campus | email Upper Campus). We will send an email letting parents know when they are ready. Tags can be picked up on Tuesday and Thursday of each week between the hours of 10:30am and 1:30pm at the cost of $5 for 2 tags, and $3 for 1 tag. Payment must be made via exact cash, check, or money order. Thank you.

Start-of-the-school-year checklist

Take a moment to download our checklist and make sure you have completed all of the necessary tasks for the start of the school year.

Thank you to everyone who has already completed their Walker Release Form for 2024/25. If you have not yet completed the form, and would like your student to walk home from school without supervision, please complete the form here.

Change to morning traffic plan at UC

Thank you for your patience as we’ve navigated the Upper Campus carpool process at the start of this school year. To assist families in the mornings, we positioned our traffic officer to allow left turns onto Briarcliff, however, this change has led to increased traffic congestion on Briarcliff, creating more challenges than anticipated and as a result we will no longer be able to allow for left turns onto Briarcliff in the mornings.

Starting Monday, August 19, our traffic officer will be stationed at Lower Campus in the mornings and Upper Campus in the afternoons. GLOBE will be sending out a separate communication this week that will further clarify morning arrival and afternoon departure protocols at both campuses.

Spirit Night at Matthews Cafeteria

Our first spirit night of the school year is happening on Wednesday, August 28, 2024 at Matthews Cafeteria, from 5pm to 8pm.

Enjoy dinner with family or friends and Matthews will give 10% of proceeds to GLOBE's PTCC.

Volunteer with the PTCC

The PTCC leadership team invites you to join a PAC (Parent Action Committee) as a co-lead, join a subcommittee or sign-up to be a Room Parent. Please complete the Parent Volunteer Survey, register for the new PTCC website and stay tuned for upcoming PTCC events and volunteer opportunities.

We look forward to seeing you at the Ice Cream Socials next week. You can also email PTCC Officers at any time.

Annual Fund Challenge

Every year, each classroom competes to see who will be first to reach 100% participation in the Annual Fund Challenge. To kick start the year, a challenge is being presented to you all. The class at each campus with the highest participation rate by September 2, 2024 wins a Popsicle Party and a surprise for each student. Donate here! Thank you to all who have donated thus far. We have raised 10% of our goal!

Mark your calendars for November 14 as GLOBE Trot is returning!

Planning for GLOBE’s biggest fundraiser of the year has already begun. GLOBE Trot is a school-wide fun run and exercise-focused event where all GLOBE students will run, skip, race, and have fun while promoting healthy bodies and healthy minds. Volunteers are needed to help with planning events for the day, fundraising, and soliciting donations. If you are interested in volunteering and creating a lasting memory for the student body, please reach out to Obse Ababiya and Andrew Dahl.

The price will increase from tomorrow, August 15, 2024.
