October 5-9, 2020
Dear Parents,
I’m reminded of God’s faithfulness and His continued encouragement as we begin new protocols this week in class wearing masks. I am so confident that your children will continue to show their resiliency as we begin a new week. They will take their cues and lead from you. Thank you for your support with the ZCS procedures to stay safe and healthy. “I pray that the God of hope will fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” ~ Romans 15:13
Parent Teacher Conferences: You should have received an email from me in which I’ve shared details to login and sign-up for a 15 minute conference time slot with me. If you have trouble with the login info, please contact the office. I will also be sending a pre-conference form home to share any questions or concerns with me prior to conferences. I look forward to meeting with you via Zoom this fall!
Fall Break/Teacher Inservice: There is no school on Wednesday-Friday, Oct. 21-23. Teachers will be meeting for professional development on Oct. 21. CEA (Christian Education Association- Teacher’s Convention) will be held on Oct. 22-23.
This week, Eliana is our Star of the Week! We will share some pictures she has for us so we can learn more about Amara!! Please remember that we will not be sharing food treats this year, but students may bring in another small, non-food item to share if they’d like to. Next week, Zulea will be our next “Star” (Oct. 5-9)!!
Book It BEGINS! Students can earn a free, personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut when they complete the Pizza form. Students simply color in 1 slice of pizza for every 15 minutes of reading. When the form is completed, send it to school and I’ll give students their coupon for their pizza!

When reporting your absence, please list your student’s name, grade, the reason for absence, and teacher.
Praying for you as you continue to work closely with your children in their education. Have a wonderful week!
