3rd Quarter report cards were sent home last Friday. Though
not required, we encourage parents of Faith Lutheran School to schedule a time
to meet with your child's classroom teacher to discuss their progress as we
head into the final quarter of our school year. Some
conference time has been set aside this Tuesday and Thursday, March 24th
and March 26th, for any parents who wish to meet with the teachers.
If these times are not convenient, parents may contact their child's teacher
directly to schedule an alternate time. Parents
who wish to meet with their child’s classroom teacher are asked to sign up for
a time slot at
http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0a44a5a722a46-parent (if
they have not already done so) to discuss their child's third quarter report
and progress. Parents with children in more than one classroom are reminded to
sign-up for a slot with each classroom teacher.
Please contact Principal Schneck or your child’s teacher if you have
any questions.
Happy Birthday and God’s blessings
to Arianna (Mar. 25)
and Blaine (Mar.28).

On Friday, March 27th,
The Anchorage Lions Club is offering free vision screening to our students and
school families.
The
screening involves simply having the child look at a device which takes a photo
of the child’s eyes to determine the child’s eye alignment, pupil size, and
refractive error. A video of the procedure is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GQjKTfiQUM&noredirect=1 . This is an
interesting tutorial that explains what the screening is looking for and how it
is conducted. I encourage you to take a moment to view it.
This
vision screening is available for students and families. Even if your child is
not a student, you may bring them in for this free screening. To receive the
screening for your child, however, you will need to fill out a consent form
(sent home last Friday). If you have children not in the school that you would
like to have tested, extra consent forms are available in the box by the
office.
The
screeners will be at the school on Friday, March 27th, from
1:30-3:30 p.m. in the fellowship hall. Students with parental consent will be
brought from their classrooms for this very brief screening.
Parents
of children not enrolled in the school may bring their children in at any time
from 1:30-3:30 p.m. for testing as well.
Please
return the vision screening consent form to the school as soon as possible. Children cannot be tested on Friday without
parental consent.
We
thank the Anchorage Lions Club for providing this valuable service. If you have
any questions, please speak to Gabrielle Bauer (903-0097).
