Last Week in Chapel

Last week in Chapel Pastor Kami taught verse 4 of Psalm 23, in which David wrote, “Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me. Your rod and staff protect and comfort me.” We learned that going through dark valleys is a guaranteed part of life, but as the verse says - we walk THROUGH them. We don’t stay there. And as we are walking through, Jesus our Good Shepherd is with us.

House System Competition

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.
