Copy of Mrs. Low's back to school email!
Dear Parents,
It is that wonderful time of the year for all things "Back to School"! We have been working diligently all summer to prepare for the next school year and it is right around the corner. ***Please take the time to read this email in its entirety. We have attempted to include as much information into one email to minimize the influx of multiple messages in your inbox.
In this email you will find the 2026-27 Class Rosters! The Lord has great plans for your child, no matter which class he or she is in, and I encourage you to rest in this truth and begin praying for the classroom teachers. Each one is so excited to get the year started! Please know that an extreme amount of prayer and analysis has gone into the placement of each student. Scripture teaches us that it is the Lord that directs our steps. I truly believe this.
Your child's classroom teacher will be reaching out soon with more detailed information, specifically related to her classroom but I wanted to share a few items with you in order to help with your planning.
Please click the links for the following: Elementary Student Dress Code , School Supply List, and the 2026-27 Major Dates Calendar.
Welcome Back Blu Cru - All elementary and secondary students and parents are invited to “Welcome Back Blue Cru" on Monday, August 17.
