Join Scout Pack 345 for an exciting adventure!

Cub Scout Pack 345 are hosting a Registration and Information Night on Thursday, January 16, from 6:00pm in the LC Village Plaza. As part of Scouting America, Cub Scout Pack 345 welcomes boys and girls from kindergarten through fifth grade to embark on a journey filled with fun, learning, and unforgettable experiences.

Discover how Scouting fosters character development, leadership skills, and offers family-friendly activities like hiking, camping, and building Pinewood Derby cars. This is your chance to ignite your child's curiosity, build lasting friendships, and create cherished family memories. Don't miss out on the adventure of a lifetime! For more information, email Cubmaster Chris Stevens, or call 404 374 2115.

K–3 Science Unit Shout-outs

Are you wondering what your child is learning/doing in Science Connections? Our third grade students are still learning about minerals and rocks and have two more rotations where they can bring in up to twenty minerals in a bag or box to class. Second grade students will start learning about life cycles after a rotation or two on winter cause and effect. First grade students are learning about magnets and your Kindergartners are learning about living versus non-living things.

8th grade Podcasts

The 8th grade ELA classes recorded podcasts on debates or social issues using recording equipment. They wrote their own scripts, edited their podcasts, and crafted images to put on a student created website. They all did an awesome job! We are sharing the website and podcasts here. We hope the GLOBE community enjoys listening to them. Kudos to the students who helped to create the website, they are credited in the footer of the web page. If your child chose not to participate in the website, please email Mr. Tim if you’d like to listen to their podcast.

A reminder that UC carpool drop-off closes promptly at 8am

Upper Campus carpool drop-off closes promptly at 8:00am. After that time, parents/guardians must report to the Front Office to sign-in their student(s) as tardy. We ask that you please obey the signs and instructions from our staff. Left turns are not permitted when exiting the carpool drive onto Briarcliff Road. Also, please do not turn around at Mary Scott Nature park, as this backs up the flow of traffic.

Please make sure you have registered to receive our school-wide text alerts. Simply text @globers to 81010. Make sure your child wears warmer clothing to school during these colder months to keep them safe and warm. Thank you.

Will your student return in August? Please keep an eye on your email inbox for the Intent to Return form. The form must be completed by all GLOBE families by Friday, January 31. A separate communication will be sent out by the end of the week.

Help spread the word. Tour dates have been posted for the 2025-26 admissions season. GLOBE families, we need you. You are our best advocates to share news about our school with your family, friends and neighbors. The link for prospective families to register for tours is available on our website.

If so, it's time to place them in your front yard or in high traffic areas. If you do not have a yard sign and would like to volunteer to place one, please click here to sign up.

Correction: Last week we mismatched student names to the photos of our Athletes of the Month. Please accept our apologies, you can find the correct information below.

Congratulations to our Athletes of the Month. Grayson Miller and Jessel Martin (Cross Country) for September 2024, and Henry Cottrell and Hana Weber (Ultimate) for October. The GLOBE Athletic Club recognizes the exceptional effort and leadership of one male and one female athlete each month.
