Message from the Principal |
|
I pray that you all had a wonderful three-day weekend. We are now in our fourth week of school and we have a lot of exciting events coming up. Band class has begun for our upper-grade students. Girls volleyball is in full swing. This coming weekend, we recognize Patriot’s Day. We will honor the day by wearing red, white, and blue this Friday. Next week, we will have our first round of NWEA assessments. We conduct these assessments three times during the school year. The results give our teachers information about what your child needs to be successful in math, reading, and language. Next Friday, September 17th, we will have a Lego Star Wars night which will be hosted by our PTSL. Come join the fun!

NWEA TESTING
Monday, September 13 - Wednesday, September 22, 2021
NWEA Testing provides many different reports to help schools and
teachers use MAP Growth information. Teachers can see the progress of
individual students and of their classes as a whole. ... This data is often
used to help students set goals and understand what they need to learn
to achieve their goals. NWEA assessments are designed to target a
student's academic performance in mathematics, reading, and language
usage.
Be sure your student gets plenty of sleep and eats a good breakfast
before they arrive at school so they can do their best.

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Tim launches the new Sermon Series: BEING that will go along with our 40 - Day Challenge, also starting the week of Sunday, September 12th. We will offer two services, Traditional at 8:30 AM and Contemporary at 10:10 AM.
Pastor Tim will begin by introducing the KEYSTONE HABITS: Commit to Community, Study Scripture, Prioritize Prayer, Seek Solitude and Choose Church.
"The Being Challenge explores these five habits, and how they not only informed the life of Jesus, but also, how they can help shape your life and mine. I believe that if you grow in these habits, your relationship with God will deepen, and ultimately, you will be the disciple He has called you to be!"
-Zach Zehnder, Author from the RLC BEING Challenge
