It should be returned to your student’s teacher prior to the absence. Thanks for your cooperation!
Church Attendance: Every week, church attendance will be taken in kindergarten through 8th grade. Its intent is to encourage an active worship life in our school families. Please make weekly worship the highlight of your week.

This year’s chapels will center around the theme “Connected to Christ”.
