SLCA Newsletter: The Eagle Edition
July 29, 2024
SouthLake Christian Community: we're excited to welcome our seniors to campus this week for start-of-year events kicking off the new school year! Remember to visit our Parent's Resource Hub for comprehensive school-related information.
First day of school is August 14.
School Health Forms (2024-25)
As we are at the start of the 2024-25 school year, please make sure you have completed the necessary health forms so families are able to get these completed in preparation for the new school year. Please note: Some health forms require a physician's signature. Please allow sufficient time to complete and submit forms by the start of the school year.
Orders are for 8/19-8/30
Just a reminder, the lunch program will begin on Monday, August 19th. For the first three days of school, all students are required to bring their own lunch. However, drinks and snacks will be available for purchase during this time. The online menu will be accessible from the 10th to the 20th of every month.
For families new to SouthLake Christian, select "Create New Account," then follow the provided step-by-step instructions. Use the school code 19slakenc.
We need your assistance! To successfully continue offering lunches to our children, we are seeking volunteers to help with lunch distribution. Volunteers will assist students of all grades in Hampton Hall (we require 4-5 volunteers each day from 10:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.). If you are interested in lending a hand, sign up HERE. If you have any questions, contact the lunch coordinators at slcalunch@gmail.com. Our success is due to your support, and we cannot sustain this program without you. Volunteering in the lunchroom is an excellent way to remain engaged with SouthLake Christian, get to know our students, and meet other parents.
