RENAISSANCE PLACE PROGRAMS
TRUTH, FACTS AND LIES PARENT MEETING
Students may not participate in the Truth, Facts & Lies program unless a parent attends the parent meeting and gives permission.
TRUTH, FACTS AND LIES STUDENT PROGRAM:
- The 7 Truth, Facts and Lies classes will take place primarily during middle school enrichment class time during the 2nd quarter for 7th and 8th grade students.
- The 2nd Quarter begins Tuesday, October 15.
- The student program will take place seven days out of the 2nd Quarter enrichment classes only. Students will continue with their regular enrichment choice once the 7 day TFL program has concluded.
"TALK ABOUT IT TUESDAY" COMING SOON
Our school mission is important! At ICCS, we strive to "strengthen spirits...minds...and bodies through the teachings of Jesus Christ" each and every day. We want to extend this mission to our student's home life as well.
Parents often have to find creative ways to engage their children in valuable and virtuous conversations. For this reason, we will be unveiling a "Talk About it Tuesday" feature very soon. On Tuesdays, we'll post a family discussion question on the ICCS Facebook page. All families are encouraged to take a few moments and discuss the topic as a family unit, or one-on-one, whatever is most comfortable for you. Use the questions to start a dinnertime conversation with your child, or make it part of your Tuesday night bedtime routine. The questions will be simple, but will hopefully allow for good faith-filled discussions between parents and children.
