Welcome back everyone, I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Please welcome our international student from China, he will be learning with us through February.
Our school theme is “Connected” with our verse of “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.“–John 15:1-5.
Chapel offerings – Will go to Comfort Dogs Ministry. Please encourage your student to bring an offering.
In Search Of – Connect 4 games for a National Lutheran Schools Week activity in January. If you have one that our class could borrow, please send it to school. We need 7 games for the activity. Thank you!
Spring Conferences– We will have our fall Student-led Conferences on Thursday, Jan. 18 and Friday, Jan. 19. Students and Parents will meet with the middle school team together in 25 minute time slots. You will receive your child’s mid-term progress report at the conference. It is important that we meet with parents of all full-time students. Homeschool parents, please contact me to set up a time to meet on a different day please.

Chromebooks – Make sure your student is charging their laptops every night. Students are unable to charge their Chromebooks while at school, so it is important they are charging them while at home.
Candy Policy – Please make sure that your student is not bringing any candy for lunch or a snack.
Religion – Make sure your student is bringing their Bibles and Luther’s Small Catechism to school.
Tests/Quizzes – Make sure your student is holding onto their tests and quizzes for each class, they are good study tools for the finals in December.
OUTDOOR RECESS POLICY –
Per our handbook policy on page 14, on most days, students will be expected to go outside for recess. If the following conditions exist, the students will not be taken out except to get a few minutes of fresh air:
- The temperature is 15 degrees F (-13 C) or below. The wind chill index is 0 (-18 C) or below.
- There is significant falling moisture.
- Teachers may take their classes out briefly for fresh air at their discretion.
- Students must have a jacket/coat to go outside to recess if the temperature is 50 degrees or below; hoodies are good for Middle School Students if it is 50 degrees or warmer.
Memory:
1/12 – Memory – Matthew 5: 43-45 – 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
