GLOBE Update

School start time: 8:10 a.m.
Drop-off will close promptly at 8:10 a.m. The administrator on ‘crosswalk duty’ will place a magnetic yellow flag on the last car already in the parking lot at exactly 8:10 a.m. That flag will indicate the last car that staff will unload. Any car behind that vehicle will need to park and parents/guardians report to the front office inside LC to sign their child(ren) in as tardy.

New 'Walker Release Form' must be completed for 2024/25

If you would like your student to walk home from school without supervision, please complete this 2024/25 Walker Release Form at your earliest convenience. Thank you.

The safety of our 'walker' students

In the interest of safety, once students who walk home are safely across Briarcliff Road, parents/guardians need to be there to meet them, or arrangements made for their safe onward journey.

Responsible parking

Please do not park/pick-up/drop-off at Shallowford Presbyterian Church and/or Church in Atlanta. Also, please remember that it is illegal to park within 30 feet of stop signs in Georgia. Drivers that continuously break this rule, or block driveways and mailboxes, are at risk of receiving a traffic fine and/or causing traffic delays, so please choose the wider, less congested roads, park in safe spots, be courteous to our neighbors and remember our CREST values. We are also aware of ongoing construction in the area which can cause delays, so please allow extra time for travel. Thank you.

All GLOBE families (walkers, drivers, bus riders, Extended Care Program, and Enrichment) will be assigned a pick-up number. They will also be issued a formal GLOBE Car Tag, which must be presented at pick-up, regardless of whether the child is a walker, takes a bus, leaves by car, or stays after school for Enrichment.

• If caretaker/family/bus does not have a GLOBE Car Tag, they will be required to park and enter the main office to show identification. If the person’s name is listed as being allowed to pick up the child, a sticker will be issued to show the staff that the student can be released.

• If the child is riding home with another family on a given day, their parent must notify the front office and the child’s teacher by 2 p.m. that day. The family picking up the child must have the child’s pick-up number. (Note: A GLOBE Car Tag is not required for a one-time pick-up, as long as permission has been provided to the front office.)

• If the child is not staying for ECP/Enrichment on a particular day and will be dismissed to their assigned zone, parents must email their teacher and the front office by 2 p.m. that day.
