Mrs. Walters’ Blog News for the week of October 29 - November 2, 2012

"Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation."  Joel 1:3   I pray that each generation would leave a legacy of faith to the next generation! 

Dear Parents,

I am looking forward to meeting several grandparents on Friday for Grandparent Day!  If I have not yet heard from you letting me know about our family’s plans for this special day, please let me know! 

Schedule:
All school Chapel  for grades K-8
9:10-9:15 Welcome from Mr. Van Dyk
9:15-10:00 Chapel
10:00-10:20 Coffee with staff
10:20-11:30 Visit any classroom
11:30-12:00 Lunch with grandchildren in the classrooms- or SHC children may be dismissed with their grandparent at this time.

Parent – Teacher Conferences will be held on Monday, Nov. 19 and Tuesday, Nov. 20 from 4:00-8:30 pm. Scheduling will be online from Nov. 1-12. Be sure to sign up by 10:00 pm on Nov. 12 as the system will close after that time. Virtual Paragon (the conference system) can be accessed from a link on the ZCS home page at www.zcs.org. The school’s master password will be mailed to you along with general directions. You will be able to use the same username and password that you used in the spring if you asked the system to save your information. Parents new to the system will have an opportunity to set up an account. If you have any questions please contact Barb Rininger at
879-0301.

ZCS will be having full days of school on both Monday and Tuesday; however, SHC parents are welcome to sign up for a conference time during the day on Tuesday, as well as the evening options. 

School Picture retakes will be held on November 8.  Pictures that were taken earlier will be available for viewing soon, which will give you the opportunity to pursue retakes if you wish.

Friday, November 16- First Grade Thanksgiving Feast- at school with all of the ZCS first grade students.  Please let me know if your child is planning to attend.

I am in the process of adding new website links and songs to our SHC Google Site.  Each week I will attach this Blog note to the website as well.  The link is:

You and your families continue to be in my prayers!
