Author Katrina Moore is coming to LC

Kindergarten through 3rd grade students on the Mandarin track will participate in an author visit by Katrina Moore on Thursday, September 12. Katrina will be reading from and discussing her new book, Chang’e on the Moon, about the Chinese legend of the moon goddess.

Library Helper Program

We are seeking 3rd grade students to help in the library this year. The Library will be accepting applications up until September 30. Any interested students should stop by and pick up a form. Please make sure all questions and fields are filled out, as we are unable to accept incomplete applications. If you have any questions, please send an email to Ms. Stowe.

Afternoon Dismissal

If you usually park your car, then walk to campus to pick up your child(ren), please do not park on Heritage Drive west of Charles McDaniel Park (towards Sundown Dr. and Meadowvale Dr.), as doing so makes two-way traffic nearly impossible. Also, please do not double-park in the circular driveway to Charles McDaniel Park. If needed, click here to review all options for afternoon dismissal.

Student Milestones and MAP reports are shared in Individual Student Folders in Google Drive. Be sure to save the link for easy access. Click on this link for directions to locate your folder: How to Access Your Individual Student Folder.

Annual Fund Challenge

The Popsicle Party participation challenge ends this week on Friday. Everyone has done a great job so far, but that doesn't mean your child’s class cannot take the podium! Be sure to include your child’s teacher's name to ensure the donation is recorded appropriately. The Popsicle Party dates will be announced shortly.

Ways to donate: Make an online donation here, or write a check to The GLOBE Academy and drop it off at the front office at either campus (please include your student’s and homeroom teacher’s names on the check).

If you have any questions, please reach out to fundraising@theglobeacademy.net.

Volunteers are needed to help with planning events for the day, fundraising, and soliciting donations.
