Devotion of the Week: Last Sunday, our closing hymn, My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less, was a wonderful reminder of our school theme for this year, Christ is our Cornerstone. We also sang this same hymn for our opening worship service on Monday. The words of verse one point us to our Savior Jesus which is also what we do each day in our school. It was great to be back in school this week, and we pray that God would continue to bless our school year with His grace, love, and protection. May we be filled with His comfort and joy daily.
My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
No merit of my own I claim But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.

Welcome Ms. Dressler and Mr. Wolter: We are happy to have both of our new teachers installed and they also completed their first week of school.

Bright Arrow Phone/Text Blast Communication |
|
You Will Be Called and Texted: This afternoon, all parents (guardians) will receive a "test" call and text from our Bright Arrow phone/text blast system. We use this for emergencies, school closings, and other important information. If you do not receive a call and text or if you would like to be removed from this, please contact the school office or Mr. Hagenow.
|
|
Drop Off & Pick Up: Thank you for your patience during our first week of school with morning drop off and afternoon pick up. We appreciate all of your extra help in making the necessary changes while also keeping our students safe! Don't forget that there is no bussing on Fridays in August and September.

New Policy and Guidelines |
|
Overview: During the summer months, the faculty was able to create a Student Chromebook Agreement Policy and Distance/At Home Learning Guidelines. Both of these documents will be beneficial to us if we were unable to be in school for an extended period of time. We are sharing these with you so that you have an opportunity to review them. Making these available at this time does not mean that we are expecting to shut down. If fact, we hope we can have a complete in person school year (with maybe a snow day or two!). If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher or Mr. Eric Hagenow.
Chromebook Agreement: We are very blessed to have enough Chromebooks in our school for all Y5's-8th grade students. As you will note in this policy, in the future, there will be an insurance type policy offered for each user. This year, we are waiving that fee in order to review the effectiveness of this policy. As stated in the policy, Chromebooks will remain at school but we will provide them to students who need them in the event that we would have to go to distance learning.
Distance/At Home Learning: We are thankful that we have started our school year in person and we hope this will continue for the entire school year. If for some reason, we move to distance/at home learning for a period of time, we have created guidelines that we hope will be beneficial for families and teachers.

SPLASH: Our SPLASH program is our after school K-8 child care (St. Peter Lutheran After School Help-SPLASH). We are very happy to be able to offer this service to our families. It looks a bit different this year since we have some new people working in the program and a new location where we meet (cafeteria), BUT the pick up door remains the same for now: the door at the end of our parking lot. Here are our current procedures with SPLASH:
- The children check into care right after school, are allowed some study time, and are then outside on the playground (weather permitting) until the end of the day (5:40).
- When you arrive at the door, please call the number on the door (989-355-3748) to let a member of our staff know that you are here.
- Your child will meet you at that entrance.
-
If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Fehn.

2020-2021 Athletics: We are still waiting to hear when our fall sports can start competition. Our girls volleyball teams have begun outdoor practices and our soccer team will start practice this week. Here are some guidelines for our fall sports:
- Games are on hold until further notice.
- Each Friday night after 5:00, if no new changes have been announced, the following week's games will be postponed. So tonight at 5:00, if nothing has changed, next week's games will be postponed to a new date or canceled.
- All postponed games will be treated like weather postponements: Schools should make every reasonable effort to add them into their existing schedules. If they can't make them fit, they don't get made-up.
- Decisions about tournaments will be made in late September or early October.
Volleyball Practices: A schedule was sent out this week to all of the girls participating. (Reminder: Tonight's practice has been cancelled.) This upcoming week they will practice at the Hemlock park on Monday, Aug. 31 from 4:00-5:30 and Wednesday, September 2 from 5:30-7:00.
Soccer Practices: Soccer has two practices scheduled so far on the next two Wednesdays (Sept. 2 & 9) from 4:00-5:00 at the soccer field next to our church.
