MediaWise Parents' Guide to Video Games

Kids Klub

Come and join our church's exciting children's program. Preschool - 5th graders meet each Wednesday afternoon from 3:00 - 5:00 for a time of recreation, crafts, snacks, Bible lesson, and music. Sign-up forms are available in the school or church office. Volunteers are always welcome - please see Rijean Smith, Children's Ministry Director.

ARAR

Elementary students are busy taking AR tests in the classrooms. The computer lab will also be available Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 8:15 a.m. for AR testing. First grade parents may assist first graders with reading of tests. We ask second through fifth grade parents to stand outside the lab while the student is taking a test. This will help control congestion within the computer lab.

Also, we have a NEW PARENT LOG-In called Home Connect. It has many new features. There is also a video that will give you much insight as to the many types of information this site provides.
