Gradelink

Gradelink is our new student information system. We hope that you have been able to log in and see what information is available to you about your child. If you have not yet logged in, or received login information via email, please contact the school office so we can provide you with that login information.

We are past the halfway point of our first quarter. In the past, we have sent home paper midterm reports halfway through the quarter. This year, we are opting to give our parents better online access to student progress. Gradelink makes that possible through its web portal along with its super easy mobile app. We hope that you will use either option to keep abreast of your child's academic progress.

Gradelink has provided our parents with a quick tutorial that overviews this new information system. You can view the tutorial by clicking here. Please be aware that we are not using all the available Gradelink features this school year. We are considering the use of additional modules starting next school year to make your online experience with us easy and efficient.

Please reach out if you have any questions regarding Gradelink.

Dressing for the weather

As the temperatures begin to slowly drop, please remember each class does go outside every day for recess.

We have the option to be outside as long as the wind chill is not below zero.

Please make sure your child(ren) have a warm coat, hat and gloves every day!!

School Counselor

We are pleased to welcome Naomi Kestner as a counselor at Resurrection. Naomi will be here on Mondays and Wednesdays throughout the school year and has time to meet with students on those days.

Should you wish to have your child meet with Naomi, please contact Mr. Renner. Should your child's teacher feel the need for your child to meet with Naomi, we will contact you to discuss that with you.

Please click on the link for a letter introducing Naomi.

Fall Mission

Our mission for this fall is called " “Mi Amigo Jesús” (My Friend Jesus). We are partnering with the Lutheran Women’s Missionary Society (LWMS) program. Each year this program sponsors a mission project that benefits children, alternating between home and world missions. This mission is for the Family Ministry Outreach Fund–Hispanic Ministries. The offerings that we collect will support home mission congregations that want to begin or expand outreach efforts to their Hispanic families and communities with toddler/early childhood social interactive programs, such as Mornings with Mommy. We will collect our offerings on Fridays at chapel in our pod groups. Please bring dollars or coin offerings to support our first mission of the school year.

We are hosting our first Trunk or Treat event on Sunday, October 30th from 2-4pm in the church parking lot at Resurrection. We would love for our school families to attend and/or be involved!

If you and your family would be interested in hosting a trunk, please sign-up here.

Please share the invitation to attend with families you know!
