Parent/Teacher Conferences

Greetings!  Parent teacher conferences are right around the corner.  They are scheduled for October 20th and October 25th.  Monday, your student will be sent home with a conference form.  Please read it carefully and choose the best time slots that work with your schedule.  If you can't make it, please call your student's blazertime teacher for a phone conference.  We look forward to meeting with you!  If your student has misplaced the form, you can find it on the team website under "team documents."

Sidewalk Chalk Needed- Can You Help?

We need sidewalk chalk (big sticks) for a project.  If you are willing to donate some, please send them with your student to his or her blazertime teacher.  Much thanks!

COPE Permission Form

Dear Parent/Guardian,

            Our seventh grade students have the opportunity to participate in the COPE (Communication Offers Positive Enrichment) Program which is sponsored each year by the Council for Drug Free Youth.  COPE is a day long program that allows students to learn more about themselves and others.  Communication and decision making skills will be emphasized that will help students make healthy choices for life.

            The COPE Program for the Challenger team will be held on October 10th and 11^th.  Because COPE is more effective with a smaller number of students, the program is being offered on two different dates with half of the students attending on the first date and the other half on the second date.  The program is being held at Capital West Christian Church on Fairgrounds Road, however, it should be emphasized that the program is sponsored through the Council for Drug Free Youth and has no affiliation with any religious organization. Transportation to and from the event will be provided by the school district.  A sack lunch from the LCMS cafeteria will also be provided and your child’s account will be charged for a daily lunch. 

            If you would like for your child to participate in the COPE program, please sign the attached form and have your student return it to their 1st Block/Red teacher.  If you have any questions concerning the COPE program, please contact the counseling office at 659-3216.
