We've upgraded our School blog and some recent posts were lost, so here's a bit of what has gone on lately.

We took the children on a field trip to Our Way Ceramics. Each student bought a molded piece of greenware, brought it back to school and after Pastor Bob fired it in the kiln, they were able to glaze it. The students also saw how to make a mold and open it. It was very instructional and fun.

We also had a school wide science experiment mixing Mentos and Diet Pepsi and watching it explode over Pastor Bob.

We just finished taking pictures for the school children.

We came back from the ACSI Convention this week and are now enjoying our Thanksgiving Vacation.

Have a wonderful time with your families.

Don't forget our Parent's meeting is on Thursday, Aug. 31 at 7:00 p.m. in the chapel. You will be receiving important information and hand outs. It is also the place to get your child's uniform T-shirts ordered. See you there!

We have successfully used our Distance Learning program for our summer school program and it's going quite well. We look forward to being able to use this for homework again this year as well as summer school and home schooling.

Our Easter vacation starts on Friday and continues through the week after Easter - April 14 through April 21. Have a great holiday!

We have beta tested our Distance Learning program for one semester and it has gone very well. We are now able to home school students who have computers through this program. It also is a great complement to our regular campus students who now have a very easy way to do their homework on their own computers. This also is a boon to students who are ill for extended periods of time. Often they can still work at home on the computer. It has been a great new service for our students and parents. Feel free to inquire if you wish to add this to your child's program or if you are interested in home schooling through this online distance learning program.

All parents of high school students should be aware that the State of California now requires all high school students to pass Algebra to graduate. Public schools must have all students pass an exit exam to graduate. As of this time, private schools are not required to give exit exams to their students.
