GLOBE Parents:
With so much going on as we all prepare for the 2020-2021 school year we have created this electronic "e-blast" to help communicate all the myriad of activity.
This new tool is not to replace any phone calls, Facebook posts or emails but to build on the current communications practices already in use.
We know parents have different likes and dislikes when it comes to GLOBE communications practices. Some of you prefer a basic email while others will access our Website, Facebook page or App. We also have parents that prefer a phone call.
Therefore, it is often difficult to determine which is the best method to reach out with important developments in a timely manner. So, we want to cover like baseball -- ALL THE BASES!
Market research has shown that a digital newsletter is 40 times more effective in keeping parents informed. So, we want to try this; to present information in a compelling and engaging way.
PLEASE DON'T OPT OUT. GIVE US CONSENT TO CONTINUE.
YOU CAN ALWAYS UNSUBSCRIBE AT A LATER DATE.
IF THIS NEWSLETTER ENDS UP IN YOUR SPAM FOLDER PLEASE ACCEPT EMAILS FROM: THEGLOBECHARTERSCHOOL@GMAIL.COM
Our guidelines:
-
Make It Simple. You should be able to read each issue in less than a couple of minutes, allowing you to get back to your children or other important responsibilities.
-
Keep Parents Informed. We will send this to you on a regular-basis with news, facts and information that we believe all GLOBE Parents need to be aware of. Please share contents as you would like.
-
Highlight Changes in School Activities. We will share items useful to you and your student to stay up to speed on things. A digital newsletter allows for more details than an automated phone call, text or other communications tool.
-
Reminders. We know that parents, and those grandparents having student responsibilities, are busy and sometimes might miss key information, so we will use this venue to help make sure you don't miss anything; to keep everyone informed.
-
Reassure You. We will let you know about all the precautions we are taking to help reduce the virus spread. We will include any additional cleaning measures or staffing adjustments, and reassure you that your child is safe to attend school.
-
Stay Engaged with GLOBE. More parents are staying at home, so we want to use every media channel available to keep you engaged. We will highlight students, activities and events. Again, we won't info-dump.
Ultimately, the point of an email newsletter is to keep parents connected, engaged, and informed about what's new with GLOBE. Yes, feedback is important so please share any comments you have at:

The charter school, which retains nearly 80% of its students each year, will be celebrating a 25th Anniversary at the beginning of the 2020/2021 school year, has received two Governor's Distinguished Improvement Awards from the Colorado Department of Education, and was nominated for the Best Workplace Award for 2018 and 2019.

As part of D11, GLOBE needed to find a new home when the building being leased was needed by the District for other purposes.
The approximately 30,000 square foot fully renovated school building will have state-of-the-art IT service, digital TVs, and faster Internet connections, which can be used for online schooling in the event blended schooling is required.

GLOBE Charter School, one of the longest-standing charter schools in the state of Colorado, will operate from a newly-renovated location on the northeast end of Colorado Springs at 5759 N. Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80918 on the corner of N. Academy Blvd and Vickers Drive, in the former LensCrafters building. Stay tuned for information on when you can visit the location. |

The school will follow all D11, Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and CDC COVID-19 guidelines for social distancing and upgraded cleaning measures.
The new school will have top to bottom solid-surface flooring throughout the entire building to maintain a clean and sterile surface area; bathrooms have
auto-flush toilets and auto-hand washers with dryers and automatic water bottle fillers for the water fountains.
The school will also require masks for all grade levels, K-6; practice due diligence for bathroom breaks and handwashing sessions; and are installing new air purifying systems for each classroom and common area.

GLOBE is one of the highest rated elementary schools (based on CDE School Performance Frameworks) and students are also involved with Junior Achievement’s financial literacy and entrepreneurship educational programs.
“This year we are excited to offer students a new hands-on, project-based learning opportunity every Friday that will include a global connection, art and foreign language program, with an elementary school based in Barcelona, Spain,” Parker said.
GLOBE Charter School sets itself apart from other Colorado Springs schools through its educational program structure, school day, and culture, explicitly designed to support the authentic vision and mission of the school.
