Week 7 - September 25-29
Fall Week of Prayer - September 25-29
We are excited to welcome Pastor Jonathan Osorio (Pastor Oso) from the Florida Conference to our school for our Fall Week of Prayer. Please make every effort to make sure your students are at school on time - before 8:00am - as we will be meeting each morning at the church first thing. We know that as we all have been preparing for this week so has the enemy. So we take the time each night and each morning to pray and ask God to speak to us this week. May our hearts be open to receive His words to us. Our theme is "Step Out" and Pastor Oso will be challenging us to hear God's call and purpose- to "step out" of our comfort zones to what He asks us to do.
Announcements
Monday, September 25th
Parent Teacher Conferences
Much like a doctor's annual check or dentist bi-annual cleaning, we know you might have to take time off of work to meet with us and we appreciate your effort in making these in-person meetings possible this Monday, September 25th in the afternoon.
We will review MAP scores and your student's progress so far so that we can continue to work together towards their success this school year.
Half Day and Pancake Breakfast
All students will be dismissed at 12:00pm.
Please remember, we do not serve lunch on Half Days. 9th & 10th will be serving a hot pancake breakfast as a fundraiser that morning from 7:20-7:50am. Parents are welcome to purchase too. The window for food will close at 7:50 to ensure all students are in class on time. (Students can also bring their own snack to.) Week of Prayer Chapel will be first at the church all week.
Please let Ms. Sabina or Mrs. Mardones know if you will need After School Care services that day.
Students can earn a JEAN DAY PASS!
Any student whose parent attends the parent-teacher conference in person on Monday, September 25 will be allowed to wear jeans and any appropriate shirt on Tuesday. Parents will receive a JEAN DAY pass for their students on Monday, September 25th during their in-person meetings.
