Kindergarten Preview & Parent Meeting
Kindergarten Preview will be March 16! If your child is in our preschool program we will transition them into the rooms at school and back. We will have a morning preview from 8:30-9:30 and an afternoon preview from 12:45-1:45. If your child does not attend Covenant Kids preschool please RSVP for the preview by March 9 and enter the building by the office. We will have a parent meeting to briefly go over our kindergarten program at 5:00 pm in Mrs. Wolf’s classroom that night and answer questions you may have. Parents please enter through the west doors of the building.
Chapel Date Change
February's chapel has been rescheduled to Tuesday, March 7 at 9:20am. Our 8th grade is taking their class trip to Des Monies on Feb 28, so we have postponed chapel one week.
Preschool and Cubs Care have been Extended
We are extending the Covenant Kids preschool year to correlate with the rest of the school. The new end date will be May 25, the same as the last day of OCCS. Cubs Care will also continue until May 24. We believe this will be a huge benefit to our preschool students and their families.
Kindergarten in the 4th Quarter
With the start of the 4th quarter on March 20th, Kindergarten class will begin going to school the full week Monday through Friday.
