From the Office:

• IOWA standardized testing will take place the week of April 24-28. Do your best to have your children in school that week and arrive on time. Make up-tests are time consuming and students miss valuable classroom instructional time during make up testing. Late students will not be permitted in class until the class finishes any pending assessments.
• Lunch options for students: Students can bring their lunch or order from our school hot lunch program All About Lunch at https://www.lunchboxprogram.com/ The March menu is attached.
• Students are not permitted to order lunch from local restaurants through Door Dash, Uber Eats, or any other food delivery service. These cause disruptions to the school day and encourage student phone use. Thank you for your understanding.

Through our faith in Jesus Christ, we have access to God’s divine power. Through that, He has given us everything we need. I’m so thankful for God’s favor and mercy in my life each day.

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. ~Peter 1:3

Have a great weekend!
