From The Art Department
Thank you to all the judges who gave up their day to give feedback to our student artists. Thank you to all the students who created art for the Fine Arts Fair here at Faith. Each piece was beautiful! Finally, thank you to all the parents who encouraged their students to participate.

The projects that placed will be displayed for Grandparents Day and then will go on to the Regional Fine Arts Fair in April. Mrs. Cooper will keep the artwork in the library until Regionals. After the event it will be sent home with your student.

Mentoring Day Coming Soon

Mark your calendar for April 4th! Stay tuned for the activity details!
Dress for Grandparents' Days
Elementary students are to wear navy or khaki bottoms (it can be skirt or pants) with a uniform colored shirt (any shade blue, any shade yellow, or white). Pre-k and K are asked to wear navy or khaki on the bottom (skirt, jumper, or pants) with a nice shirt in one of the school colors (any shade blue, any shade yellow, or white). If the PK and K girls want to wear a navy or khaki dress, that's fine too. We don't want PK/K to run out and buy a school uniform, so it's whatever they find in their closet that looks similar to school uniform colors. We are asking that the students wear this on BOTH days, and that there be no jeans or shorts those two days.

MS/HS Choir and Falcon Orchestra will need to wear the uniform instructed by Ms. Mann and Mr. Crawford.
Dress for the weather
We make every effort to get the students outside for fresh air. If the Real Feel temperature is above 32 degrees, we keep the students outside for about 30 minutes. When the Real Feel temperature is right around 30 degrees, we take the students outside for at least 15 minutes. If the Real Feel temperature is below 30 degrees, we usually keep the students inside for play. With this in mind, please make sure your child wears a heavy, warm winter coat to school. A hat, gloves, and scarf are also beneficial.
Sickness
In an effort to clear up the germs and viruses, we are asking that if your child experiences any of the following symptoms to please keep them home for the day. Symptoms include: Runny nose with yellow/green discharge, nausea/vomiting, sore throat, chills or fever, diarrhea or any other conditions that might be contagious. A student should be fever free for 24 hours (without medication) before returning back to school.


School Emergency Closing Announcements
In case of inclement weather, please be advised that we do not always follow the Berkeley County Public Schools emergency closing schedule! Faith Christian Academy will always have its own announcement regarding school closings and delays. We will place announcements in the following media:

  • School website: www.faithchristianacademy.net (“Quick Notes” along right side of home page)
  • Radio stations: WEPM (1340 AM) and 97.5 "The Hit Music Channel"
  • Television: NBC News 25
  • A text message will be sent through the Renweb data base – all parents will receive an text alert
  • Phone Message: Call the school and enter extension 223 for weather related messages

Every attempt will be made to make a call by 6:00 a.m. on the morning of a cancellation or delay. If a two-hour delay is called then parents need to check back and see if a second announcement is made. Again, every attempt will be made to make a call as quickly as possible. A two-hour delay will result in before care opening at 9:00 a.m. On days where weather may prompt an early dismissal, please do not call the school office. Check your texts frequently when inclement weather occurs or listen for the radio announcement. The school phone lines are needed for emergency purposes.

Any time the forecast is for inclement weather our primary goal is to make the very best decision for the safety of our students. We realize that our students come from a wide geographic area and that road conditions often vary greatly across the region. When inclement weather occurs, parents must use their best judgment in determining whether or not to bring children to school or pick them up early. When parents choose to keep their children home due to the weather, those absences will be excused with a note indicating the reason for the absence or tardy.
Thriving Families Seminar Series
We have an exciting opportunity for our families this year. There is a local Christian counseling service called, Christian Psychological Services, which is owned and operated by Dr. Jonathan Hartiens. We have partnered with this agency to provide our families with three, one hour seminars designed to strengthen your family and give you strategies to help your children thrive academically and spiritually. These valuable seminars are absolutely free to our families and will be held here at the school with free child care provided for pre-kindergarten through fifth grade students! 
 
Please use the links below to let us know if you are attending and if you will need child care.
