The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph

Just a reminder that we have Picture Day this week! Wednesday, October 5th is Picture Day for our preschool and kindergarten students at our Go Church location. First-third grade students will have pictures on Thursday, October 6th. Since this is a Chapel day for preschool and kindergarten students, they are allowed to wear other variations of the school uniform on this day. Just a reminder that these pictures will be used as their yearbook photo.

Last Week in Chapel

We continued our series titled “Just Do It”. We learned that we should be a “grace giver” and not a “rock thrower”. Our lesson focused on John 8:1-11.

Main Focus: We must never judge others - God is the judge.

Power Verse: “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” Matthew 7:1

Whatchagaddaknow: God is the judge and I am not.

Remote Learning Day, October 7th

We will have a Remote Learning Day on October 7th. This day will follow the same format we did previously. A packet of work will be sent home with your student to be completed and returned on October 11th.

Staying Informed and Up-to-date with Classroom Happenings

To stay informed of what’s happening in your child’s classroom, please login into Blackbaud weekly. You will be able to see information such as weekly classroom announcements, upcoming events, weekly academic focus, grades, attendance, etc. This is the key to staying informed and replaces hardcopy newsletters. I encourage you to login each week. Information will be updated each Sunday at 5pm.

Accessing your child's class information weekly:

• Login to your Blackbaud account and select your child's name under "Children". 

• Find your child's homeroom class under the "Progress" tab by scrolling down to where classes are listed.

• After selecting the homeroom class, you will see the teacher's main class page where you will locate upcoming dates, class reminders and news. 

• Select the "Topics" tab to see specific information for each individual subject. Within each subject folder, you will see a plan for the week and upcoming projects and test information.

• The "Topics" pages update each Sunday evening at 5pm and will remain current until the following Sunday evening.
