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

HAPPY FALL BREAK!!! I hope your family is enjoying a wonderful long weekend. Just a reminder that all remote learning day work is due on Tuesday, October 11th upon our return from break.


Last Week in Chapel

We completed our fifth lesson in our series “Just Do It”.  Our students learned that God hears and responds when His children ask, seek, and knock.

Main Focus: We must go to God for help.

Power Verse: “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.” – Matthew 7:7 

Whatchagaddaknow: I will call on God for help.

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.
