Staffing Changes
Mrs. Kate Faber has accepted a position as a full-time 2nd grade teacher next year at Allendale Christian School.  Senora Claire Rose, our Spanish immersion teacher, has accepted a position teaching 4th grade in the Spanish immersion program at Grand Rapids Christian Elementary School.  We wish both of these teachers God's blessings as they begin new classrooms in new places and want to thank them for all they have done for their students at Rockford Christian School.

Year End Report Cards 5-8
Final report cards for Grades 5-8 will be posted on June 11 on NetClassroom. Please look at your student's report card on or soon after this date. On the NetClassroom home page select your student. Then on the menu that runs horizontally across the top of the page, hover over the "Student's Grades" tab and select "Report Card" from the drop down menu that appears. The report card will open in a separate window so it is important to have the pop up blocker turned off on your computer to view. To keep a record of your child's report card permanently, please print or save the document electronically. If you have any questions or concerns, they may be addressed by email or phone call to the teacher. For help with your password, select the "Forgotten Password" prompt on the NetClassroom page, or call the school office at 616-574-6400 or email  kradius@grcs.org. A copy of your middle school student's report card will also be mailed at the end of the that week.
 
Thank you very much for buying my note cards. I will donate $50 to Paws With A Cause .
I would like to say thank you for allowing me to be with your children at RCS this school year! I enjoy praying, working, and helping the students become children of God.

Thank you for all you do for God’s Kingdom!
Me Dave

I hope that you all had a great weekend!
I made a youtube video of the Fun Run.
The link is needed to access the video - it’s about 12 minutes long.

Thank you for coming to the open-house celebration.  Your thoughtfulness, gifts and hospitality were great.

6th Grade Environmental News
The 6th grade Environmental Classroom students had a most delightful time at Sleeping Bear National Park last week Wednesday-Friday.  The weather was absolutely perfect with highs in the 70s and lows near 50.  They had many experiences that will live in their memories for many years.  We praise God for this wonderful time together as a capstone experience to the environmental year.

Family Time:
Our 8th graders presented their Bible exams today.  It was their last Family time at Rockford Christian School.  They did a great job, and we will miss them.
