REMINDER ABOUT LATE START WEDNESDAYS THIS YEAR

Just a reminder regarding Wednesday mornings for this coming school year: We are continuing our Christian Professional Learning Community. As teachers we gather every week to experience professional and spiritual development, and to collaborate as educators, seeking continuous improvement as professionals with the goal of improving student learning. We are committing to this practice in order to deliver the most excellent and Christ-centered, mission-driven education for your children which gives us a path to becoming as highly skilled as we possibly can for the sake of the students and in alignment with our mission.

Every Wednesday students will not be expected to attend school until 8:45am. We will continue to provide appropriate and intentional supervision for those students who must take the bus in the morning or get dropped off at the usual time. Thank you so much for working with us as we grow in our craft and in our spiritual walk, that we might live out the identity God has called us to as your partners in His Kingdom work on behalf of the children He has given us!

LATE START DOES BEGIN ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9TH

FREE LUNCH PROGRAM CONTINUES AND GRAB/GO BREAKFAST ADDED!!!

In addition to the free lunch program and are adding a free grab and go breakfast option that will be offered in the lobby from 7:30am-7:50am for Upper School Students to take to homeroom and eat or save, if they wish.

Lower School Teachers will be in communication with parents to determine the participation in a breakfast item. Certain grades may nibble during Lower School Morning Meet, and some may use it as a snack. Teachers will alert you at the start of the year.

SAVE THE DATE FOR BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT!

• Rising Junior Families: your students will be taking the PSAT/NMSQT on October 20th starting at 8:15am. Here is a link to the "Why" of taking the exam, and the "How" for preparing to take it: https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat-suite-benefits-students-parents/why-take-psat/why-take-psat-nmsqt

• Senior Families: Have a conversation with your student about retaking the SAT. Is there a chance, with some focused practice, that it would benefit them to try again? It is not a bad idea since some of your students may be very close to another level of scholarship from their school of choice. Links for focused practice: khanacademy.org and Google Gemini Integration: Google partnered with The Princeton Review to offer Free SAT Prep on Google Gemini.

• Reminder to Seniors: If your student is planning on applying to a number of schools, they should fill out the Common App online ahead of the school year. It will provide much more efficiency to our application process. We will be meeting every Wednesday during 5th period from mid-September through November to prepare applications as well as receive information and training for the post-high school experience.
