This week In Chapel
This week we focused on the Fruit of the Spirit, Peace. Through the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42), we learned the importance of being in God's presence. Time in God’s presence will help us develop peace in our lives.
Main Focus: When we feel stressed out, we should spend time in God's presence.
Power Verse: “...Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Whatchagaddaknow: I Will Come To God’s Presence When I Feel Stressed Out!

Blackbaud: Classroom Updates & Information
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 will replace the hardcopy newsletter sent home in the past. I encourage you to login each week. We are excited for this new format! 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.
