RISE UP!
From the Office Progress ReportsBelieve it or not, this week marks the half-way point of the first quarter of the school year, meaning teachers and students have settled into their routines. Elementary school teachers will be filling out progress reports on their students this week, and parents will receive them next week as a form of communication regarding student successes and struggles. Please take time to look over the reports and talk with your children about them. Should you have any questions or other feedback regarding the progress reports, you may contact the ap-propriate teacher.
Middle school parents do not receive pro-gress reports because they have access to Powerschool, a web-based program that provides real time monitoring of attendance and grades for our 6th - 8th grade students. However, if your middle school student is struggling in class, you will still receive a communication home during progress re-port time. SJCS strongly encourages both middle school parents and students to be-come familiar with Powerschool, and if you need help setting up your Powerschool ac-count beyond the letter that was sent home, you may contact the office.
The more interest parents show in the edu-cation of their students, the more successful those students tend to be. Furthermore, as Christians we seek to follow the Lord’s command to use our talents for His glory. In that sense, working hard at one’s educa-tion is a spiritual calling, a calling we vig-orously promote in the SJCS classrooms. We appreciate your partnership with us in the teaching process.
New Extended Care/Summer Camp LeaderSJCS is excited to welcome Mrs. Tracy L. McElhone as the new leader of our Ex-tended Care and Summer Camp programs. Mrs. McElhone will be taking over for Mrs. Reeves, who is moving into a larger role in the classrooms at SJCS this year. The Ex-tended Care Staff and the Administration were very impressed with Mrs. McElhone’s organization, professionalism, and drive, and we believe she will make a great addi-tion to SJCS. She will begin her role on Monday, September 24 and will be on campus for nearly all of the hours that Ex-tended Care is open for the first month of her employment. We are sure you will enjoy meeting her and getting to know her.
