"What’s Wrong with Social Distancing?" Additional tips from Tim Elmore...
It was five weeks ago when we began to hear the term, “social distancing.” It wasn’t invented then; people have practiced it for centuries during outbreaks. But this was our own version in 2020. We heard that staying beyond six feet from one another would prevent us from vulnerability to the coronavirus.
Sadly, I have witnessed a pitiful misinterpretation of this practice. ...
Grace Christian Parents and Students - We need your help!
Spring is a time when we host many tours on campus and new families have an opportunity to meet teachers and students. Since current Covid-19 restrictions do not allow us to host tours, we have created a virtual tour of the campus. However, our video is missing one thing...our student's beautiful faces!
We are asking for anyone who is interested to make a short video of their student stating what they love about Grace. Be creative. They can do a spoken message, a sign, a poem, etc. (No longer than 30 seconds though.) Also, be sure to shoot the video on your phone in landscape mode (length-wise not straight up and down.) Videos can be sent to my email address or Vanessa Lippman at vlippman@gracelcms.net
Thank you so much for your help! I can't wait to hear what the students have to say.
Blessings,
Kara Warner
Counselor/Associate Principal

Hello Grace Christian Parents:
We hope this message finds you and your family safe and healthy during this unusual time!
It has been on our hearts to communicate with you regarding our plans for the next school year. It's hard to look forward when we are surrounded by so many uncertainties: When will we be able to start school again? Will we still have a traditional school day? Has this time outside of school really affected my child? Will we have a summer camp?
To give some insight into these questions, and to give you the opportunity to ask more in a live format, we are scheduling a live Facebook event with the administration on Wednesday, April 29th at 6:00 pm.
Additionally, this is the time of year we are confirming who is enrolled for next year. This information is imperative because it allows us to plan staffing and curriculum. So, we find ourselves in a difficult position: our need to plan for next year, versus the difficult circumstances our families are living in that may result in financial hardship. Nevertheless, to ensure we continue to provide the highest quality program, we must move forward.
Thank you to all the families that have completed the re-enrollment process and paid the enrollment fee. For those families that have not completed the process, please complete Gradelink and pay the Enrollment fee of $250 per student. We have extended the $25 off the enrollment fee when paid in full for families from March 28th to May 15th. Tuition assistance is still available if you need it. You can start the application process HERE.
Also, we need all families to confirm on FACTS their payment plan for next year: one payment, two half-payments, or a monthly plan (10 months or 12 months). This is important to do as soon as possible because the 12-month payment plans begin June 1st.
As a final quick step towards planning for next year, we simply ask that you complete this short Enrollment Survey by clicking HERE.
Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback and we look forward to seeing you at our Facebook live event!
In His Service,
Michelle Quezada, Assoc. Principal
