Recently the paper forms for registration for the 2021-2022 academic year were sent home, and registration for returning and new families began on Monday, February 1. We will also be offering individualized visits to new prospective families. The best advertisement for the school is word of mouth, so we ask that you pass this information on to friends and family that may be interested in a Christian Life Academy education! And, of course, get your family registered early for next year…. early/discounted registration goes through March 19th.
Digital Natives presentation - TONIGHT - February 11th, 6:30pm via Zoom
With the move to online learning over the past year, staff at CLA have seen a significant increase in students' online activity, especially in relation to search queries, videos watched, and material that is consumed online. As a school that desires to partner with parents and families, staff members are also having increased conversations with parents about how to handle situations involving questionable content, especially as parents are raising digital natives who spend a large amount of time online participating in various social media platforms. If you are interested in learning more about how your children interact with the internet or if you are looking for ways to engage in potentially difficult conversations with your child about his/her online activities, this is the study for you!
CLA will be hosting a 1 hour Zoom presentation based off the study Digital Natives by Bryan Roberts and Heather Kolb. To attend, please register here: https://forms.gle/bTnYRiZS2deaR5ba6. If you are unable to attend but would still like to see the presentation, please go ahead and register- a link to the recording will be sent to you (but only if YOU REGISTER!).
WEATHER REMINDERS:
Please be sure to have children come to school with appropriate outdoor weather gear! Hats, coats, gloves and long pants… >>> IF/WHEN SEVERE WEATHER ARRIVES<<< We will announce any changes (closure, late start, etc) by sending EMAILS to all families through Gradelink, posting announcements on FACEBOOK both publicly and in the Lions’ Den parent group, and also posting on the local TV WEBSITES. Please do not call or text the school or staff about delays or closures, but check these sources first!
From The Principal’s Desk…
Have a wonderful extended weekend! We often think of “Love” as associated with Feb 14 (Valentine’s Day).... but I encourage you to remember GOD is LOVE! It is only through God’s love that we can truly understand what love is. I would encourage you to read in I John…. in particular I John 4:7-8. Have a “lovely” weekend!
In Christ,
Mr. Horning
