From our Nurses:
- Please remember to notify the nurse as well as the teachers if you are keeping your child home due to illness.
- If your child has concerning symptoms and you are getting him Covid-tested, his siblings must remain at home until the (hopefully) negative test result is received. If it is positive, please contact the school nurse immediately and of course, siblings must remain at home.
- If you have your child Covid-tested, please email the result (positive or negative) to the nurse.

2021-2022 Sports Physical Form
Attention Parents of Rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders,
The GLOBE Athletics Department is excited to announce that sports will resume when we return for the 2021-2022 school year. We will begin with our Fall Sports - Boys Soccer and Girls Volleyball. In order for any student to participate in any sport over the course of the school year, they must have an updated Physical Examination form on file prior to tryouts on 8/16/2021.
Please follow the link below to access the required forms.
(*Physical Forms are valid for a full calendar year after the date signed. For example, if you have the physical done in July 2021 it will last through July 2022, and therefore will be valid for any Fall, Winter, and Spring Sports.)

PTCC Reminder: Elections are coming up!
Want to get more involved in your child’s school?
It’s time to fill leadership roles for next year.
The GLOBE Parent Teacher Community Council (PTCC) is GLOBE’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). The PTCC is made up of GLOBE parents. We will elect new leaders for the 2021-2022 school year in August. Step up and nominate yourself to lead as a PAC leader or an officer.
Officer Election Process:
- Voting for officer positions will be online.
- Ballots will be sent out electronically by the Head of School to provide each person an opportunity to vote.
- The elections will be voted on by the entire GLOBE community (parents, teachers, staff).
Those elected to officer positions will serve alongside Laura Thomas, who will serve the second year of her Co-Chair position, and Kristeena Spivey, who will serve the second year of the Secretary position.
If you are interested in running for a Co-Chair or Treasurer position for the PTCC, please email your name, position of interest and a summary (not to exceed 500 words) on why you would like to hold an officer position to Head of School Ms. Christi Elliott-Earby @ celliott-earby@theglobeacademy.net and Co-Chair Laura Thomas @ ptccofficers.globeacademy@gmail.com. Please detail your past experience at GLOBE or other school leadership positions. Candidates will be evaluated based on why they are interested and prior parent involvement/volunteer experience (community, other schools, at GLOBE). Deadline for nominations (including self nominations) is July 1, 2021. School-wide elections for the two Officer positions will be held via email on August 2-12, 2021.

Fundraising
The Development Committee is seeking volunteers to help secure GLOBE Trot (October 22nd) and Annual Fund sponsorships this summer using our brand new sponsorship packet.
As a public charter school, we receive less funding than traditional public schools, so sponsorships are an important way to raise the funds needed to operate our school. Contact Meghann Adams at madams@theglobeacademy.net if interested in helping or if you have ideas for sponsorship prospects.
