Thanks to you our Open House and Annual Family Back

BBQ was a HUGE Success! What a great way to begin our

new school year! Our hearts were filled with joy as we

ate good food, played games and fellowshipped with our

Team & Family! We hope that you had an opportunity to

meet your scholar’s teachers, find out what your schol-

ar will learn over the course of the year, and under-

stand the teachers’ academic expectations so that we

can work together to help your child succeed.

Again, we look forward to an amazing year!

IMPORTANT REMINDER!!

School begins daily at 7:15 a.m. Scholars are tardy at 7:31 a.m.!

Breakfast also ends at 7:31 a.m. sharp! We close the carpool gates at

7:35 a.m. and scholars are required to

enter through the front door at that point. Late scholars will miss

breakfast, vital instruction time and will receive a $1 deduction on

their paychecks.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR SCHOLAR(S) ARRIVE ON TIME! DAILY!
