Hello and welcome back to a new and exciting school year.
This year there are a few changes around campus. Mr. Luehring will be facilitating the 7th and 8th grade Spanish class. Last year the 7th and 8th grades used the 5th and 6th grade curriculum as an introductory course. This year they will be using the corresponding curriculum and so it will be more in depth. We welcome Miss Tjernagel to our faculty and are excited to have her join our school family. We will begin a new Exploratory Class for the 8th graders. Students will choose their own approved project each quarter. The teacher will set benchmarks for each student to reach throughout that quarter.
This year's Hot Lunch program will be catered by Pasta Market and will need no ordering in advance other than putting money in your child's account. Create an account by depositing a recommended amount of $50 for your child. You can put money in your child’s account with a credit card by calling 408-720-1269 or by mailing a check (be sure to include student name & school in the memo section) to: Pasta Market P.O. Box 9339San Jose, CA 95157. Menus will be sent home today and are also available at http://www.apostlessj.org/web/hotlunch/index.html. They will also be hung in the classroom for the students to see.
Earthquake Kit informational sheets were not put into the Orientation folders. They will be sent home today with each student. Please fill out and put inside your child's ziplock bag, along with their Earthquake Kit. Also going home today is a finalized copy of the singing schedule for the year, piano informational letter, and information about the new Box Tops competition. If you have not done so already, please send along 2 tissue boxes with your child.
As we enter this busy time of the year, let us not forget to make time for our risen Lord and Savior.
In His service,
Mr. Eric Fillner
