Registration Needed: Agape After School
The Agape After School program has asked that we please send the following link to all of our PreK4 through 3rd grade families so we can have every family registered in case after school ever needs to be utilized. Please note that completing the registration is not an indicator that you plan to use the program, nor is it agreeing to any charges. WE NEED EVERY FAMILY to register so that if you ever have to utilize the program, your child’s information is already on record. Please use the link below to complete the registration. Thank you!
Last Week in Chapel
We had a great time in Chapel this week as Mrs. Moore continued our “Blessed” series! This series is all about how God has blessed us in so many ways! In last week’s lesson, the students learned about one of the most important blessings that God has given us, salvation! We talked about how Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that we can be saved from our sin if we believe in Him and make Him Lord of our life.
Power Verse: "If I openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
Whatchagaddaknow: “I believe Jesus is the Lord of my life!”
Optional House Color T-shirts
We have had several parents request the option to purchase House shirts to wear on House Color Days. We are excited to announce that we have partnered with Graceful Peach Boutique to offer shirts for Robinson, Elliot, and Lewis houses! Check out the link below and order your optional shirt today if you are looking for something to wear on House Color Day.
Electronic Device Policy
Just a reminder that elementary students are not permitted to have cell phones, smart watches, GPS tracking devices, or other electronic devices during school hours.
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.
