Calvary Christian School- October, 2016  |
Great Start to a New School Year! What a fantastic start we are having to the 2016-17 School Year. There is a sweet spirit within the building, parents are really  plugging in to help, the teachers are totally engaged, and the student already have a comfortable smile on their faces (most of the time)!We want to thank the Lord for His faithfulness and never forget that He is the foundation to all that we do at CCS. The Word says that He is faithful to all generations. He keeps His Word. |
First Fund Raiser  We would like to thank all those students and parents who made the first fundraiser a success. Your time and energy, along with a great product, made it possible for the school to almost double the average sales per student over last school year. Proceeds from this sale ad "extras" to the school program that otherwise would not be possible. Thank you!Please be watch for an email and flyer with delivery dates in about two weeks. |
After School Activities Organizing Now that we have smoothly moved into the new school year, it is time to add some "extras" for the students. This is an opportunity to for our faculty and parents to bring areas of enjoyment and education to the students in elective after school programs. Art, music, technology, robotics, strategic game club, crocheting and more have been done in the past. We need parents and faculty to volunteer to take leadership in  an area for which they are excited. This is a real opportunity to get to know students and pour into them in an area that we enjoy ourselves.Each club or activity will have a specific theme, age group and can meet one a week or twice per month. The only charge for students is the actual cost of materials, and each student who participates can take turns bringing a snack for a meeting. Please be watching for a sign-up form to be coming home next week for parents and teachers who want to take part as leaders. Then, about a week later, be watching for a student sign-up form! This is an opportunity to share and help our students and school community. |
Consider Calvary Christian School- Now is the time!
Each year, it is a privilege to partner with parents who desire a Christ- centered education for their children. The school has completed the reregistration process of our current students, and we are now interviewing new students.
If you are a new family to the area, unhappy with your current educational choice for your child, please consider making a call to the school for a personal visit. We want to share with you the story of Calvary Christian School and what we are about as a ministry. We also want to listen to what you need for your children. This type of personal care is one of the things which makes our school special.
The Application Process: 1- Review the student handbook and website to become acquainted with the school. 2- Call for a personal interview. We request that both parents attend the meeting. Parents should bring the most recent progress report which will allow the administration to see if additional educational evaluation is needed. 3- Parents will have ten days from the date of the interview to make application along with the payment of the Registration and Book Fee. The school will act upon that application within ten days. In the event the school is unable to accept a student, fees paid will be refunded.
