The current forecast for next week calls for some very cold days. Since we don’t have students waiting for a bus or walking to school, we have the ability to operate in colder temperatures more than some other schools. That being said, we will closely monitor the situation each day and make a determination on closing if the temperatures become dangerous to be outside for any length of time. Some factors we will consider include:
-
Safety of students and staff
-
Severity of weather
-
Timing of weather
-
The ability of vehicles to travel safely for parents and staff
-
Operable conditions for our building and ability to maintain safe conditions in and around the building
It is time to enroll your student(s) for the 2019-20 school year. A Pledge Form and the $100 Enrollment Fee are due by next Friday. After that, new families are considered for enrollment and the fee increases to $150. If you need a pledge form, please contact the school office.

A Graceful Evening takes place on Saturday, February 2. See below for details.

Please make a point to invite any friends interested in a high quality Christian education to attend this event.

A Graceful Evening – A wine donation event to support A Graceful Evening will be held next Saturday, February 2 at the home of Andy and Kathryn Schmahl. See details below.
Two weeks from today, on Thursday, February 7, we will have our second round of Parent–Teacher Conferences. These conferences are critical to our partnership, so we expect all parents to attend. All teachers, including those that teach art, German, technology, music, and PE will be available if you wish to meet with them, but you need to sign up for a conference in order to assure they are present at the time you come. You will use the following
link to select who to meet with and when. All teachers will be in Fellowship Hall, so moving from one conference to the next will be simple. Please note that beginning with 5
th grade, your student has more than one teacher for core subjects. As an example, if you have a 5
th grader and wish to learn how your student is doing in reading and math, you need to sign up for a conference with both Mrs. Massmann and Mrs. Clauss. In order to get the times you desire, you will want to sign-up soon. The deadline for signing up is Monday, February 4. This is necessary to give teachers a couple days to prepare for your conference.
The calendar for the 2019-20 school year can be found
here.
