Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things…and the God of peace will be with you.” ~Philippians 4:8-9
We are all experiencing a gamut of emotions that are flooding with the recent news from the Governor. From one day to the next things change.. numbers rise, questions continue, mandates, and orders, extensions of closings but there is one thing in all of this that remains and that is that the Lord is still in control. My prayer is that we will continue to turn to His word so that we can be in the right spirit and gain peace of mind that surpasses our understanding. May the LORD be the contagion!
We will continue to provide distance learning for our student population until the end of the school year. We will make some necessary modifications so that we can see this thru to the end of the year with great success. Students should continue to follow along in Google Classroom for their assignments and due dates. Please be on the lookout for live “office hours” so that the students can just “drop in” to ask questions, have additional opportunities to have “live” instruction, and just to connect as needed.

COUNSELING TEAM
Keep in mind that our Counseling team is available to virtually meet with students/families to help with coping strategies during this time. Change is hard, transition is hard, and certainly this Pandemic is unprecedented. However, we can have courage and take heart, because our God has overcome the world!
