Merry Christmas from the Faculty and Administration of Calvary Christian School
It is an honor to stand next you as you seek to raise your children to love God, grow in Christian character, and prepare to spend their lives in a deepening relationship with our Lord.
The faculty and administration would like to say, "thank you" to each parent and wish you a precious Christmas season. It is our prayer that God will bless and protect your family as you seek to grow and walk with Him each day.
Merry Christmas!
2nd Qtr Interim Reports- Wednesday, December 11
Our students have worked hard since their last report card, so it is now time for the faculty to provide students in 1st-12th grade their 2nd Quarter Interim Report. Because of the closing on Monday, these reports will be sent home on Wednesday, November 11. Parents should sign and return the report by Friday, December 13.
Please continue to pray for an outstanding result in the area of academics at Calvary Christian School. The Lord has been so faithful to help our students, parents, and the faculty in this area.
Christmas at Calvary Christian School
Christmas Presentation- Wednesday, December 18, at 10 AM
Christmas is a special time at Calvary Christian School as the students prepare for a celebration of the birth of Christ in simple dramatic form. This year's program will include every student of the school as they read the Christmas story in the Book of Luke and sing wonderful songs of praise.
It is our hope that every parent will make time to come and celebrate with the students as we prepare our hearts to honor the birth of our Savior.
Class Parties- 10:45-Noon
After the Christmas Presentation, each class will celebrate with a special time of fellowship and fun with a classroom party. Please be watching a teacher note asking for help in providing food and other items for the party. Parents are invited and encouraged to attend while enjoying the time with the students and faculty.
Early Release- Noon
All students should be picked up by noon on Wednesday, December 18. School will resume the normal schedule on Thursday, January 2, 2014!
When We Close Calvary Christian School
The administration of Calvary Christian School makes independent calls related to the school's closing, early closing, and late openings. The main factors related to the decision involve the ability of the faculty to get to school and the graded driveway which becomes very slick when covered with snow.
Decisions are made by about 5:30 AM the morning of school closing or late opening. Decisions are made as needed when an early closing is needed. The administration desire to avoid early closings if at all possible since most parents have serious commutes and have a hard time getting back to school for a pick-up in adverse weather.
When a change in operation schedule is needed, parents will be contacted by email and by a posting at the top of the school's homepage at www.calvary-christianschool.com. We encourage parents to be sure we have a current email address in the school's system for emailing.
We understand that parents make the ultimate decision on traveling when we are open in marginal weather. In other words, if we are open and you think that roads are not safe in your area, please do not travel.
In all cases, we seek a safe outcome for faculty, parents and students.
Help, Please In Three Areas!
Please help us do a great job with our students:
Be on time- Tardy students interrupt Praise and Worship and Bible Class. This means it is very unfair to the students who arrived on-time.
Be at School- We can not do our job if a student misses school. By law in the Commonwealth, a student who misses seventeen school days can not be promoted or receive high school credit.
Arrive at the proper time- Students who are not in our AM Care Program should not arrive before 8:15 AM. If you are at school early, the student must be signed in to the day care program. They can not be left in the classroom unattended.
Students who are not enrolled in PM Care need to be picked up by 3:15. If you pick them up after that time, you must sign them out of the PM Care program.
Did you know that Calvary Christian School can receive a percentage of every dollar you spend at Target on your Target card? Once you attach your card to benefit CCS, the school will receive a regular check based on all purchases of the people participating. It is that simple. You can also help the school receive benefit by making purchases through the Target website. Please consider taking time to attach your card at the customer service desk or at the Target website site.
Are you collecting these labels and sending them to school. The school can receive up to $10,000 per year when we redeem these. Please look for them on packages that you purchase on a regular basis. Then slip them into a plastic bag to send to school when it is full. Small things like this can make a huge difference at CCS!
1 Thessalonians 3:12-13
12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.
