MESSAGE FROM MR. AIKEN

Dear Parents,

Eden's commitment to students extends from their spiritual life and pursuit of academic excellence to safety on campus.

In keeping safety of utmost importance and diligent effort, we conducted a drill to lock down last week. Ohio Township police officers were on campus to observe and assist during the practice. After the drill, we walked the campus together for advice on campus security. The police commended the school on the drill and on the overall environment of the campus.

These are proactive practices to keep our students safe. As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions.

In His service,
Todd Aiken
FROM THE COUNSELING OFFICE

2018-2019 COURSE SELECTIONS
Students that are re-enrolled received a google form to request course selections for the 2018-2019 school year. The form is grade specific and was emailed to student accounts on Monday, March 26. 

The course curriculum guide to read class descriptions is accessible at  https://goo.gl/T8buZE.   If you have any questions about making selections, or did not receive the google form, please contact Mrs. Cischke by email at bcischke@edenca.org.    

Scheduling is a lengthy process; students currently in grades 7-11 should  submit course requests by April 30.  Schedules will be sent to students in August. 

SAT/ACT
Juniors and Seniors taking SAT/ ACT tests need to schedule their exams online:
ACT at ACT.ORG

Please pay close attention to deadlines to avoid late registration fees. Also, be sure to take advantage of the free score reports when you sign up for the exams.  On test day, bring your proper photo identification, non-mechanical No. 2 pencils, camera cards/admission ticket, and calculator. 

NOTE: There are FREE, personalized evidence-based study plan practice available through the Kahn Academy ( kahnacademy.org ) to help you score the best you possibly can and increase your chances for admission and scholarships! 

AP EXAMS
All students taking the AP exams will be pre-registered on Wednesday, April 25, during Activity or TS period.   Students :  please check your email and listen to announcements for further information about where and when we will meet. Teachers have communicated expectations, as well as testing prep materials, to students that will help them perform to the best of their ability on exam day! 

SENIORS
As you continue to prayerfully consider where God is leading you, please update/complete the Google Graduation Summary Form with your selected school/military branch/employer, major, and any scholarships you have received.  This important information will be used to complete the Graduation Ceremony program.

11th GRADE CAREER EXPLORATION
Last week in Bible class, 11th grade students completed Interest Surveys (via mynextmove.org and O*Net) which linked them to potential career fields. Students were directed to email a parent and Mrs. Cischke their results for further communication on the topic. Students spent time exploring training options, salary expectations and more using the O*Net website and BigFuture.com. 

Parents, please spend time talking with your child about this enlightening and very beneficial activity.  Students left the class with a sense of confirmation or ideas of careers that they never even knew about before but were excited to research more!
COMPLETE YOUR VOLUNTEER HOURS BY APRIL 30!

AT EDEN, we believe in strong partnership with parents welcoming their involvement in the activities of the school.
 
In support of that partnership, every Eden family is required to contribute 15 service hours each school year. ( Preschool family requirement is 7.5 service hours in a school year.)
 
Families are responsible for fulfilling their service hours by April 30 and recording them in ParentsWeb no later than May 3. Service hours not fulfilled are billed to the family (rate of $10 per hour) in May.
 
If you have questions about volunteer opportunities or fulfilling your hours, please contact your campus volunteer coordinator: Christine Kaniecki at ckaniecki@edenca.org
