September Happenings

What a whirlwind of a month it's already been with the first two weeks and our first field trip already behind us! Praise be to God who is so ever faithful in providing over and abundantly beyond all that we ask or think.

Albion Hills Orchard Trip - What a Blast!

I have to say that last Thursday's filed trip to Albion Hills Orchard was my favourite field trip we've had so far! The orchard staff came up to Janette and I repeatedly to thank us for coming and told us that our kids were the nicest kids they'd ever had on a tour! What a blessing! For all of you parents who took photos on Thursday, please select your best ones and e-mail them to me at: speedqueenjean@gmail.com so I can save them for our Yearbook at the end of the year!

Cold and Flu Season

As we have already noticed, cold and flu season is already upon us and this is just a reminder to educate your children on frequent hand-washing, proper sneezing and coughing methods, refraining from sharing food, and of course to keep your child at home with the presence of fever or other flu-like symptoms. We will begin enforcing a new school policy that children with fever or illness will rest under adult supervision at all times until parents can come to take them home.

Picture Day Coming Up! - Thursday September 29, 2011

Just a reminder that all individual shots and class photos will be taken on Thursday September 29, 2011. Choose solid colours or simple patterns to complement the blue background of the photo.

God bless everyone, as we embark on a new school year together!

Sincerely,

Teacher Jean

Fall Field Trip to Whittamore's Farm (Steeles and Markham Rd.)

Dear Parents,

We are delighted to report that all of our students are settling in nicely to a new school year and arrive at school bright-eyed and enthusiastic, ready to learn! We are pleased to announce our first school field trip will take place on Friday October 1st from 10am to noon at Whittamore's Farm (Steeles and Markham Rd.) All students at RCCS from Preschool to School-aged children are all welcome to attend. Parents and Grandparents are also more than welcome to join us for a day of fun on the farm. A visit with the farm animals, a wagon ride through the forest, and a cornstalk maze are among the fun activities you have to look forward to.

The cost per person is $7.50, taxes included. Please provide payment to your child's teacher no later than Friday September 24, 2010. Please also pray for a beautiful, sunny day! (Last year we had fun in the rain but we'd love for some fun in the sun this year.)

God Bless You All,

Fall 2010 Enrolment and Information Night - Thursday April 29, 2010 @ 7:30 p.m.

Dear Parents,

Our first year of Rock Community Christian School has been more blessed than we could have imagined. The students' outstanding academic achievement is truly only the beginning. We've enjoyed the privilege of studying God's Word together and watching the children hide countless life-giving verses in their hearts. Beginning each day with praise and worship puts us in the right mind set and seeing the children seek God's presence throughout the day makes everything we're doing worthwhile. The Lord's Spirit is undeniably present among us both in and out of the classroom. Even our field trips and our Christmas play were so blessed in ways that we couldn't have prepared on our own.

Preschool for 2-3 year olds, will continue in September. It will continue to be twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Junior Kindergarten will also be twice a week, all day Tuesday and Thursday.

Senior Kindergarten and Grade One will be four days a week, Tuesday to Friday.

Information regarding curriculum, fees, schedule, staff, and extra-curricular activities will all be available at our first information session on Thursday April 29th at 7:30-8:30 p.m.

If you are interested in sending your child, or just want to hear what we're planning, please do come and hear/see what we have to share. Feel free to pass along the message to any friends or family who might be interested in attending our information session as well.

God bless,

Teacher Jen
