Mandatory Parent Meeting
We will be
having a mandatory parent orientation meeting for
the new school year on Wednesday,
August 27th from 6-7 p.m. to discuss
school policies, procedures, and the year in general. The PTF (Parents, Teachers, and Friends) will also
be presenting information. The
meeting will be
limited to one hour.
Chapel Service
You are invited
to join us for our
weekly chapel service this Thursday , August 28th
from 8:30 to 9:00 a.m.
Families
and friends are invited
to come and join us
in starting
our day with the Lord. A
mission offering
is collected at every Thursday
chapel service. Mission offering envelopes are provided with the
Monday notes. Our
mission project this year
will focus our support on our synod’s
work with our sister national
church in India, particularly with orphanages.
School Uniforms
A reminder that school
uniforms are worn
Monday through Thursday.
Fridays are casual days – students may wear
“regular clothes”. Please
remember that our
dress code does still
apply with regard
to footwear,
etc. Please refer to the school handbook for details.
Need an extra uniform shirt or two? Mr. Schneck has
extra new shirts available
for sale. If we don’t have
your size we can place an order for you.
Do you
have a school uniform
shirt or pair of pants that is in
good condition but no longer
fits
your child? Would you
be willing to donate it to another
school family? Bring it
to the Parent Orientation Meeting this Wednesday
night. We will have
a table to
make “gently used” uniforms
available to others. Thanks!
Boxtops for Education
There are
several back-to-school promotions going on
with Boxtops for Education right now. Save and turn in
boxtops in the collection container on the bulletin
board by the school entrance, or give to Mrs. Zarnstorff. Every little
bit helps!
Emergency Preparedness
Every year at
this time we review our
plan for emergency situations at our school. If
an emergency such as
an earthquake or other
disaster would occur, plans
and
material supplies
are in place to provide
for the safety and security of our
students, as well as first
aid and extended care in the event
that students cannot
be immediately
picked up by their
parents.
In
order to help
us in this, we ask each family
to prepare a small “comfort kit” for
your child, with
small items to provide
comfort and to help
keep them occupied and calm in an
emergency situation.
We have included a small zip-lock bag with
this newsletter to facilitate this. Pack your child’s
comfort kit with a card
containing your child’s name
and contact information and
other small items for your child’s
comfort. Suggestions include
a non- perishable snack (like a granola bar), a pair of knit gloves,
a family
picture, a small toy, and a
letter to your
child.
Comfort kits can be brought
to your child’s teacher
at any time, and will
be returned at the end of the
school year.
Pick Up-
Drop Off
Please be aware of children,
your own and others, when
dropping off and picking up before and after school.
Be aware of traffic flow in the
parking lot. If you
wish to just drop off
your child, please let drop them off
at
the CHURCH entrance
and have them walk back to
the
school entrance in order to
keep the corner clear, or park in the lot
and walk your children in,
especially if you have little ones. Please also
maintain control of your
children in the lot, and BUCKLE LITTLE ONES IN before you take a minute
to visit with other parents. Let’s
all
work together to avoid
accidents and keep our children
safe!
Families
using Before Care, please note that Before Care students should enter the
building through
the ramp door (playground
side). This will help us
maintain a secure facility. After 8:10 students
should enter the building through the regular school
entrance.
