Parent Teacher Conferences

Our quarter ends next Friday, October 25. You will receive an email today with information about signing up for our 1st quarter conference. This is the one formal conference we have this year. Slots will be open after school/evening of Oct. 30 and morning of Oct. 31. I value our partnership and look forward to visiting with you about your child's progress.

Tips - 1) if you have multiple children, look to schedule early so you get back to back slots
   2) If your children are in different buildings, plan to skip a time slot in between conferences to allow "travel time" between buildings.

Conferences are for 15 minutes with the HOMEROOM teacher. If you have specific questions about English and Science, please contact Ms. Preusser directly.

Hark - The Students Lead Advent Worship!

On Wednesday, December 4 at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m, grades 5 and 6 will lead the first Advent worship services at Zion Church. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students as they help our congregation prepare for the Lord's coming. Attendance is expected at both services, so please mark your calendars now and keep the date open. Let me know of any conflicts right away as parts will be assigned soon. We are eager to begin preparations for leading worship as December will be here before we know it.

During the coming weeks, all students will learn songs selected to reinforce their message. Students will also have opportunities to try various roles in the service, such as special drama, music, art, or “behind the scenes” parts. Part of our Memory Work assignments will shift focus to learning songs and lines. Students will also have an opportunity to share their special musical talents. Any student who have been taking music lessons for several years or is in the Concert Band may offer to play for the services. Selections must be:
   1) sacred music related to the Advent or Christmas seasons of the church year
   2) practiced and ready to audition on November 12
