SPCS Connector 2022
August
Note from the Administrator
Dear Parents,
After much anticipation, we are excited to start the school year at SPCS. We do not know all that the future holds, but we are confident that our God is good and that we may go to him with all of our concerns, and he cares for us. We have been looking forward to seeing students again, welcoming new faces and seeing how returning students have grown over the summer.
Each month, we will publish a school newsletter. In this newsletter you will find some important information about activities in school, health updates, calendar and lunch menu.
We are now in the office and are happy to answer any questions you may have. The best way to contact me is by email at shoffman@southportpres.org if you have questions or need anything. Mrs. Thein can be contacted at bthein@southportpres.org. We are looking forward to a great year!
God Bless,
Mrs. Hoffman

Carpool Reminders
Have your child unbuckled and ready to get out of the car.
Do not exit your vehicle while in the car line. Teachers are there to assist if needed.
Do not allow children to hang out of car windows or stick their head out of a sunroof. This could lead to serious injury if you were to stop fast or get rear-ended in the line.
Refrain from talking on the phone during carpool. This can be distracting and cause accidents.
If you arrive after carpool is over, you will need to pull up to Door 1 and walk your child in the building.
If it is raining, children should wear a jacket with a hood. We ask that students not bring umbrellas to school.
Always be patient and courteous with other drivers.
We can't do it without your help!
1. We need preschool parents who would be willing to volunteer in their child's class if a substitute is needed for one of the teachers. If you are interested in this, you will need a background check and will need to let Mrs. Thein, our preschool director, know of your interest. bthein@southportpres.org or 317-534-2931.
2. The school cafeteria is looking for volunteers to help set up the cafeteria for school lunch and to serve. We need several volunteers for lunch to run smoothly. Volunteers do not have to help every day but can pick which day or days work best in your schedule. If you can help, email kskora@southportpres.org or call 317-534-2909.

SPCS CHAPEL
Each Friday, K – 5th Grade students and staff will be joining together in worship. Guest speakers from the church and community visit to share how God has worked in their lives and to impart Biblical wisdom to our students. This is also an opportunity to sing praises to our God and to recognize students for our Accelerated Reader Program as well as birthdays. To start off the year, we will be meeting virtually. The speaker and other parts of the service will be pre-recorded and students will watch and participate in individual classrooms. Unfortunately there will be no visitors permitted.
Our First Regular Chapel will be on Friday, July 27, 2023
