We are off and running…. we have had a few bumps and had to make a few adjustments, but we are thankful and blessed to be back in school with the students. Please be patient with us in any additional adjustments that will need to be made.

The extreme heat this past week has provided another challenge, but we have endured. The staff at the main building noticed that the building seemed cooler than it would have last year during the heat. We believe it is due to the new roof. What an added benefit to the blessing of a new roof. No more leaks and cooler classrooms.

Calendar/Falcon Connection

We are NOT sending home the Falcon Connection this year by hard copy. Please check the website (Falcon Connection) for new information.

Fun Lunch Online

Look for Fun Lunch Order Form and instructions for ordering online on the website. A pink hard copy was also sent home last week to explain the new procedure.

Study Hall

The early release time has not allowed students to have a study hall in their schedule. We want to focus on getting the instruction times covered while they are at school and have them use the extra time provided by early release as a study hall.

See Saw

See Saw is an online learning platform that we will be using this year. We will be using it to give assignments and communication with the students throughout the year. 5^th-12^th grade students will be getting their login codes on September 8.   Students must check their See Saw accounts for homework when they are absent from school.

Dress Code

Due to the extra procedure needed to start the school year, we did not discuss dress code until Monday, August 31. The dress code has not changed from last year. We will need to start addressing the dress code violations this week. We would appreciate your support. If you need any further guidance, we have a dress code brochure in the office.

Psalm 91:1,2

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in HIM I trust.”
