If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9 NIV

Students in grades 1-9 are scheduled to take the ERB standardized tests. ERB stands for Educational Records Bureau, which is a nationally normed standardized test that thousands of religious and non-religious private institutions across the nation rely upon to evaluate the academic progress and performance of their students. Testing will be held Tuesday through Thursday from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. each day at both Upper and Lower Schools.

We cannot stress enough the importance of having your child(ren) arrive to school on time for these days. On time arrival means that they are here, personal belongings in place, seated and ready to receive instruction by 7:55 a.m. Students should be finished by 12:00 noon each day. It is important that you help prepare your child for the week by remembering the following: Attendance: Please re-schedule any routine appointments that you may have scheduled for your child during testing time. Punctual: It is essential that you have your child here on time next week. Pencils: Please remember to send your child with at least 2 sharpened #2 pencils with good erasers. Snacks? A break for snack will be provided for the students. Feel free to pack a snack for your child. Missed days? Friday has been designated for make-up tests. No other make-up days will be available beyond Friday. Except for emergencies, there shall be no traffic within the school during test days/hours. Please refrain from teacher/admin consultations in the morning before (or obviously during) testing time in order to keep potential disruptions to a minimum. Practical tips: Please make sure your children are well rested over the previous weekend and do make sure they have a good night's rest. A good breakfast before each day of testing is always a good idea.

As part of our graduation requirements, Christ Covenant School seniors are required to complete a Senior Pinnacle Project/Presentation.  The Senior Pinnacle is an opportunity for students to engage in scholarly activities and produce an original work. The Pinnacle is meant to be the culmination of the student's experience at Christ Covenant School.

The topics and work researched are informative, interesting and extremely impressive with each senior bringing their unique perspective to a variety of topics.  Join us for one, several or all of their presentations.

Due to the snow day back in January where school and hot-lunch were cancelled, we've added an extra hot lunch day to the schedule to provide lunch for those pre-paid lunches. 

The added hot lunch is TUESDAY, MAY 8.  We'll be serving Basil's Cheese Pizza!  Each student will receive 2 slices.

The list of students with pre-paid orders for the cancelled January lunch is linked here.  These students will automatically receive pizza on 5/8; no further action is needed.

If your child is not on the list and would like pizza, you'll need to log on to RenWeb to place your order before the deadline of Tuesday, May 1.

We also need volunteers to pick up the pizzas and deliver to the Lower and Upper School on Tuesday, May 1, as well as on-site helpers to assist with serving. 

• The pick up times for the Lower School are 11:15, 11:45 and 12:20; and pick up for the Upper School will be at 11:30.
• Lower School onsite servers are needed 11:30 - 12:50.
