Blog Update February 26

I hope that you had a great day off!!!

Parent/Teacher Conferences - February 26
Parent-Teacher Conference schedules were sent home.  Middle school conferences are not scheduled.  However, the MS teachers will be available in the Worship Center for a 7-minute conference from 4-8 PM.


Conference Babysitting
Parents, do you need someone to watch your children while you attend parent teacher conferences on Tuesday, February 26? If so, you have a fun and friendly option to choose right here at school! 8th graders will be offering their babysitting services, complete with activities planned, from 4-8 p.m. on conference days in order to raise money for their class trip to Mackinaw City in May. Take advantage of this convenient and entertaining (or educational, if your child needs to get some homework done!) opportunity, and help to support the 8th graders with a donation. Sign in/out will be in the band/choir room. If you have questions, feel free to contact Mrs. Oren.

Did You Know??????
That the sixth grade Environmental Classroom has a weather station that tells the temperature, wind speed, wind chill, barometric pressure, and many more things that are happening outside? The weather station will give us up-to-the-minute weather information so the kids won’t have to go outside for recess when the wind chill is below zero.  Be sure to watch for the weather information displayed on the monitors each day.  Thanks, Mr. VerMerris, and the rest of the EC students!!!!!!

End of the Day Pick-Up Procedures
In an effort to maintain the safety of our students, we have reminded them of the expectations for car and bus pick-up at the end of the school day.  At dismissal, students are expected to head to the car lines, the bus doors, or After Care.  Parents who are in the building or parking lot should expect their students to join them immediately after dismissal so we can be sure of their whereabouts.  If your student remains after school for any reason, he/she is expected to either be in After Care or with his/her parent.  Thank you for reinforcing these expectations to assure the safety of our students.

I’m praying that you have a great week full of God’s love!
Thanks for all that you do for God’s kingdom!
 Mr. Dave
