It's Almost That Time...
Greetings Spartan Families,
It is with great humility and excitement that I write this letter to welcome you to another wonderful school year! The first day of school is Monday, August 29th for all 1st through 5th grade students and I can’t wait to see the smiling faces of all of your children!
We will begin receiving children each day at 8:45am
and we begin dismissal at 3:35pm
with buses usually pulling off no later than 4:05pm.
Students arriving after 9:00a.m. will be marked tardy and
will need to enter through the front of the building escorted by an adult.
Parents are not allowed to escort their students to the classrooms. There will be many staff members present to receive students and direct them to their classrooms. In order to ease your fears and possibly have some of your questions answered before the start of school, I strongly encourage you and your child(ren) to attend our Back to School BBQ on Wednesday, August 24th from 5pm – 7pm. This will be a great opportunity to meet our staff and take a self-guided tour through the building. We will also have food, music, and games!
Kindergarten Families Only- Staggered Start!!
The first week of school will be slightly different for kindergarten students.
Kindergarten students whose last names begin with the letters
A-L will attend school on August 29th and August 30th.
Kindergarten students whose last names begin with the letters
M-Z will attend school on August 30th and September 1st.
School will be closed for all students on
Friday, September 2nd and Monday, September 5th,
with everyone returning on Tuesday, September 6th.
The goal of this staggered start is to help our kindergarteners have a smooth transition to the start of the school year.
Homeroom and Bus Information
We are currently being told that homeroom and bus information will go out on the 22nd. If you subscribe to our REMIND text group, we will send a text as soon as the information is sent out! :-)
Harvest Christian Academy Will Be Providing Before and After Care!
Keep in touch with REMIND!
School Supplies
While we provide a large number of school supplies for students, you can help us out by making sure that your child has:
pencils and erasers
one box of crayons
scissors
glue sticks
composition notebooks
folders
Breakfast and Lunch are provided FREE OF CHARGE for all students!
All students will have access to a free breakfast and lunch every day!
Be mindful that even if your child brings breakfast and/or lunch with them, we CANNOT DENY students access to the meals that we have in school, so if you do not want them to eat a school breakfast/lunch or have concerns about the possibility of them eating a double lunch (the one that bring from home and what we offer in school) and ending up with a tummy ache, please have that conversation with your scholar. :-)
