You may also sit with your child in their class row, but we ask that you sit near the outside of the row. Chapel begins at 8:15. If you have any prayer requests, please let your child’s teacher know and they will inform our worship leader and we will include those requests in our prayers.

Devotion Books Board have been sent home to all the children in all grade levels. These books are a gift from the church and school to provide parents with a resource for evening daily devotions. We would love to see your family using these books. Please send us a picture of your child in family devotions using the devotion books and we will post it on a bulletin board in the lobby for all to enjoy! You may also email those pictures to Thanks!
SHORTS- According to our handbook, no shorts should be worn between November 1st. and Spring Break. We realize that it is still warm most some days, but it is often cool in the mornings and sometimes a cold front blows in some afternoons. We want the children to be able to play outside in all those occasions. Also, the classrooms are air-conditioned, so being comfortable indoors should not be an issue.
NOTE: Just a reminder, shorts should be worn under all dresses. This applies to all ages PK -9th grade.
