Dear LCS Parents,It is hard to beli

Dear LCS Parents,

It is hard to believe that the summer is almost over, and another school year lies around the corner! Over the next few weeks, we will be frequently sending information in hopes of preparing you for the new year, so please take the time to mark upcoming events on your calendar and note any changes that may have been made to the class schedule, uniform requirements, etc.

I have chosen to begin this way in particular because the Lord has laid something very important on my heart. We want to make sure that you have been communicated with as thoroughly as possible so that we can get to know YOU as a parent- not just your child. Now, don't get me wrong, your child's education is a priority; but he will only progress in proportion to how much you are involved in his education. Jupiter Ed, our online grading system, is there for you to check on a regular basis so that we can partner with you to help your child be academically successful. We ask at the beginning of the year that you volunteer, so that you can use your gifts to become a part of who we are and where we're going. We need your help with encouraging your child to participate in school and class fundraisers so that we can all feel like we have played a part in sacrificing for a cause that is greater than ourselves- whether it's a new swing set or finding a cure for cancer. I cannot overstate how important you are to the future of this ministry, and how important it is that you stay informed.

So, with that in mind, embrace the countless emails, monthly invoices, weekly alerts, communication folders, and documents needing your signature that will enter the walls of your home over the next year, and realize that they are the means by which we can proactively partner together to have a productive school year.

By His grace,

Howie Schlichting
Dean of Students
