Dear GLOBE families,

It is wonderful to see all of our GLOBE students back at school following Winter Break. Please know that we are closely monitoring the forecast of severe weather as we get closer to the weekend. As mentioned in our communication on Monday, GLOBE follows DeKalb County School District decisions on weather emergencies/closures. We will communicate any changes as early as possible.

Please register your cell phone number with our Remind text messaging service by texting @globers to 81010. If a potentially hazardous event occurs prior to the beginning of the school day, we recommend you tune in to local radio or television broadcasts (WSB-TV Channel 2 is a great resource), check local news networks, GLOBE's website, social media, etc. for information.

Thank you for your continued partnership as we begin the second semester in 2025. Please take a few moments to read through the news and notes listed below.

In community,

Christi Elliott-Earby

Executive Director
