THANK YOU
We had a great Open House last week! It was a good turnout with lots of excitement about Legacy Christian and next school year! We saw many new families! THANK YOU for being our biggest promoters!
If you have not done so already, we are asking you to register your student for next year's Preschool, Young Five's or one of our Kindergarten classes before the end of this month. (Registration form is attached to this newsletter.) Even if you are not positive on which class your student will attend next year, it's better to have their name on a list. This information is VERY important for decisions that are already being made for next school year regarding staff, class sizes, etc. So don't delay!
Also, please use this form to register for before or after school care (Prek/Young 5's only). Spots are filling quickly and our childcare will have a limited number of spots available! Register today! There is a separate additional $25 registration fee for this service.
Return your completed registration form and a $50 deposit ($75 if requesting childcare as well) to secure your child's spot in one of the these classes. New students to Legacy will require a copy of their birth certificate as well. Please know that some classes fill quickly and all registrations are accepted in the order in which they are received. Please have them turned in to the office by Jan. 28! Thanks for your help with this!
SPANISH IMMERSION INFORMATION NIGHT
NOW OFFERING BEFORE AND AFTER CARE
We are now accepting signups for before and after school care for 2022-2023! Legacy Christian is happy to announce that we will be offering Extended Care for preschool and young 5's students, beginning with the 2022-2023 school year. There will be an option to drop children off early before school begins, after care when preschool and young 5’s dismiss, before care for students in the afternoon preschool class or all day care for days that preschoolers are not in school. The LCS Extended Care will only be available on normal school days. Care is not available on school breaks, snow days, or during the summer months. If you or someone you know may be interested in this program, please let them know! You can register your child when you register for preschool or young 5’s. All extended care is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. You will find the registration form attached to this week’s newsletter. We are very excited about this program and are happy to offer it to new and current LCS families! Please use the attached form to register for our preschool and/or young 5's classes and Extended Care!

8TH GRADE PARENTS
- Your child's 8th grade picture and baby picture are needed for the yearbook. All pictures may be submitted electronically (preferred) or as a hard copy. All hard copies WILL be returned to you. If you wish to use the picture that was taken by Karen Huttenga, please send Kim Z an email so she can confirm she has the correct photo. When submitting your photos, please keep in mind that 4x6 or 5x7 is the ideal size, vertical orientation is best and head shots are preferred. All photos should be submitted by Friday, Feb. 11, 2022. Questions? Please contact Kim Z - kimz@legacycs.org.
- South Christian High School Curriculum Night (for Parents of 8th Graders) Jan. 24, 7:00 pm. Do you have an 8th grade student who is considering South Christian for next year? Join us this year for Curriculum Night. The goal of the evening is to give parents more specific information about our course offerings. We will look specifically at the freshmen course requirements, graduation requirements, and the academic opportunities for students. Parents will interact with a PowerPoint presentation and get the information needed to help their 8th graders make course selections for their freshman year. If you are unable to attend this event in person, please contact Sherri DeVries (sdevries@schs.org) and we will email a recording of the evening the following week. All documents will also be linked in the email for 8th grade parents. A few weeks after Curriculum Night, the registrar and counselors will go to the middle schools or schedule appointments to meet with the 8th grade students and collect the Course Selection forms worked on at home with parents. Please let us know if you have any questions by emailing Mrs. Wierenga (rwierenga@schs.org) or calling the main office (616-455-3210).
