Sight Word CHALLENGE!

From now until Spring break we are challenging every Lower School student to enrich their reading fluency by dedicating the weeks ahead to improving sight word skills! Students will receive fun incentives and weekly shout outs! Our challenge begins this Tuesday, January 17th! Be on the lookout for more information from your child's teacher, including fun ways to practice at home!


Last Week in Chapel

I am so excited to be back in Chapel teaching a new series! This series is called “Family Farm” and we will be comparing the ways our family is like a farm. In our first lesson we learned that just as a farmer plants seeds to grow food, we plant seeds in our family too. We learned that we must plant seeds of love, forgiveness, obedience, faith, and more. I encouraged our students to do their part in planting the very best seeds in their families. 

Power Verse: “Do not be misled……You will always harvest what you plant.” Galatians 6:7

Elementary Clubs

Our students love to participate in our elementary clubs. These clubs are designed for 1st-5th grade students and meet after school dismisses.


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.
