Walk-A-Thon!!!

We did it!  We raised  over $14,000 for the classroom set of surface pros.  Thank you so much for everyone's generosity.

We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day.  Students had a great time walking and running the nature trail.  

 
Isn't this what it is all about?

STANFORD ACHIEVEMENT TESTING

Starting Monday, April 8, Family of Christ Christian School will begin the Stanford Achievement testing for First - Eighth grade students.  These tests will provide a measurement of academic growth for your child this school year as well as allow us the opportunity to evaluate and update our curriculum. (Please note that even though Hillsborough County schools are closed on Monday, April 8th, Family of Christ is open.  We have testing that day.)
 
Family of Christ will receive the Stanford results during the summer. All parents' will receive a copy and a copy will become a part of your child's permanent record.
 
In order for your child to be at his or her best, it is ESSENTIAL that your child:
 
·Arrive to school on time. Once the testing has begun for our students, the building will be locked until testing is finished. Late arrivers will have to wait until that morning's test is finished in order to join their class.
 
· Is well rested EACH night
 
·Has a healthy breakfast each morning. There is no chicken biscuit that week (Not listed on order form).
 
·Relax and encourage your child to do their very best
 
All of our teachers recognize the importance of these tests, so there will be NO HOMEWORK assigned that week.  Enjoy the down  time with your child.

Thank you for the team work in making this a successful experience for our children.
