PICTURE PERMISSIONS
At times the local paper (Sioux Center News) will take pictures of events happening at school or we take pictures to update our website, use in promotional materials, use in our school newsletter, or post on Facebook. Most often pictures are in group settings and names are not shared. Please contact Amy Vander Berg (avanderberg@siouxcenterchristian.com) or Tracy Eekhoff (teekhoff@siouxcenterchristian.com) if you do not give permission for your child(ren) to be included in those pictures. Or if pictures are fine, but you would prefer not to have his/her name included in a caption, please make us aware of that as well. If we do not hear from you in the next few days, we will assume it is fine to use pictures/captions. Thanks!
PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES
GRANDPARENT/SPECIAL FRIEND DAY
We will be postponing Grandparent/Special Friend Day from October 23 to February 26. Why? We hope to be able to need fewer mitigations in February than in October and are not interested in doing a virtual visit, if at all possible. Of course we can’t predict the future, but moving the date to February will hopefully help us be able to have a more “normal” experience for grandparents and students. As we continue to implement mitigations, it does not feel appropriate to introduce a huge crowd of people to the building next month. We also believe that lightening the load this fall for our team by moving this big day to February is a good thing.
October 23 will be a full day of school and we will dismiss at 11:30 on February 26.
