Chap's Corner by Coach Roger Woods
Acts 16:31
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
The biblical meaning of believe is: ”belief, firm persuasion, assurance, firm conviction, faithfulness.” The word believe is mentioned 257 times in the Bible.
I want to encourage you this week to: Believe in God, Believe in others, and Believe in yourself.

Dismissal Reminder for Wednesdays
Some of our students do not know Christ as their Savior and we are focusing on this during our chapel time on Wednesdays at 2:00. This time is an important time each week and we are having many distractions as students are dismissed throughout chapel time.
Students who have to leave for appointments need to be dismissed prior to 2:00 or at the end of the day. I know that you already try to schedule appointments after school, but also know it is impossible some of the time. Please help us with this and just get your child before chapel starts if you need to.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT NOTIFICATION
Your child is now conveniently re-enrolled each year without lifting a finger. Should anything change, all you need to do is schedule an appointment with your child’s principal and complete a withdrawal form before March 15th.
The $240 re-enrollment fee will be billed to your account annually on March 16th.
Tuition will automatically be billed via FACTS.
Failure to withdraw before March 15th will incur a 50% charge of the upcoming school year’s tuition.
Thank you for entrusting your child's education to us. We consider it a privilege to be part of your family's life!
“Apply thine heart unto instruction,
and thine ears to the words of knowledge.”
Proverbs 23:12
SBA Preschool Enrollment for Siblings
On March 10, 2020, beginning at 9:00am, Preschool will have enrollment for SBA siblings.
There is no need to come to campus, just confirm availability here beginning March 10th. This is based on availability by age group and applications are processed in the order they are received. Current Tennessee State Immunization Record is required.
Don't delay! Open enrollment to the public begins the following week!
For more information, call the Preschool Desk at (423) 499-3822. Tour scheduling is also available here.
Student Assistance Program and Permission Slip
The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a FREE confidential counseling service for our students here at the Academy. SAP counselors are specially trained to provide support, help students explore various issues, and develop health and coping strategies.
In order to take advantage of these services you must do BOTH of the following:
First - As referenced In the first email regarding Legacy’s counseling services, please fill out one Parent Permission Form for each of your children: Legacy EAP Parent Permission Form
Second - To refer your student please fill out the Student Assistance Program (SAP) Referral Form. It is a more descriptive form that goes to the counselors that will be working with the students.
To find the Student Referral Form on the Parent Dashboard:
Go to the Parent Dashboard (parents.Silverdaleba.org or visit www.Silverdaleba.org and scroll to the bottom right-hand side, choosing “For Parents”).
Go to the section that says "Support" and select “Counseling - Student Assistance Program.”
“Student Referral” is clearly listed there.
** Please note that you must first fill out the Parent Permission Form BEFORE a referral is made. If the counselors do not have this document, they will not be able to work with your child. PLEASE SUBMIT ONE Parent Permission Form PER CHILD.
Silverdale Baptist Academy is excited to offer such an invaluable service to you and your child.
Thank you again for partnering with us. We are honored!
