Concordia Prep School Weekly Update
Asynchronous Learning Tomorrow, Thursday, September 24, and Friday, September 25
Tomorrow and Friday, Virtual School will be asynchronous so faculty can prepare for the start of the hybrid schedule next Monday, September 28, 2020. Students should log into Zoom for their Class 2. Attendance will be taken. Students will work on assignments assigned by each class. The schedule and class assignments will be posted in OnCampus. Giguere and ELL students are not allowed to attend classes at school. They should attend virtually Thursday and Friday.
Weekly Chapel
Thanks again to all who prepared the service! Some wonderful truths to latch onto (or rather, to latch onto us!) as we go about our week!

Our God continues to be worthy of all our worship - let us “raise a hallelujah” to Him today!

Class of 2022 – It's Time to Order Your Class Ring
Order online at www.balfour.com. To see the rings in person or to be sized, visit Balford's office at 32 West Rd, Towson, MD 21204. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to recognize your student’s achievements. A Class Ring is forever.

Due to COVID, everything has to be done online (or families can go directly to the Towson store); plastic ring sizers are available at school if a student wishes to find his/her ring size. To size yourself, see the attached printable ring sizer

NOTE: The rings will be delivered to the Towson store so they can be distributed to the students at the ring ceremony on January 9, 2021.

Deadline: To receive your ring by Christmas, order by October 30.

Available Styles: To view all the styles we have to offer, please visit the balfour ring catalog.

Virtual School is considered a regular school day. If your student will be absent, a parent must email Ms. Stefanneli at carlynstefanelli@concordiaprepschool.org or attendance@concordiaprepschool.org by 9:00 am each morning.

Teachers will take attendance at the start of each class. Students will be marked tardy and absent the same way they are marked during a normal school day.
