National Day of Prayer:

On Thursday, May 7, our school will participate in National Day of Prayer beginning at 8:30am at the flagpole on the north side of campus. During this time, we will pray together and recognize our local police officers, firefighters, veterans, and celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country. Students are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue in honor of this special day. If the weather does not allow us to be outside, the event will take place inside the church.

Starting Friday, May 1, students are allowed to wear shorts to school for the rest of the school year.  Shorts must be mid-thigh length or longer and may have a decorative frayed hem.  Spandex, biker shorts, cutoffs (jeans or sweatpants), torn shorts, tight or short shorts, and athletic shorts are not permitted.  Students in PreK-4th grade may wear athletic shorts on non-chapel days with the understanding that they are mid-thigh length or longer.

5/6 Spring Field Trip Information:

🌱MAY 14, 2026: This spring, the 5th graders will be traveling to Riveredge to help apply our classroom learning about Energy & Ecosystems to their everyday world. The cost of this field trip will be $15.   Permission slips will come home on Monday and will be due by Wednesday.  

🪢 TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 2026: SAVE THE DATE! Each year, our middle school classes also do a fun/educational field trip in the spring. This year, our students will be participating in a ropes course.  The cost of this field trip will be $54.     Please plan accordingly. Permission slips will come home on Monday & will be due May 15, 2026.

As we continue through our school year, I encourage you and your student to check grades on FastDirect together! We are talking more and more about accountability for grades and homework, and it is important for your student to know how they are doing in class and be motivated to bring their grades up if needed!

Changes to the homework/test corrections policy for Ms. Schulz’s classes: Homework may be corrected using a different color for ½ points back. Tests and quizzes will be ineligible for corrections. All corrections must be completed within 1 week of the assignment being sent home in brown envelopes.

Have a great week!

In Christ,

Ms. Schulz
