RE-ENROLLMENT HAS BEGUN!

  Celebration Picture

We are so excited about the current school year and what God is doing at CLS, but we are also looking forward to the coming 2015-16 school year. 

Re-enrollment has officially begun.  Re-enrollment packets were handed out today to parents of Preschool thru 7th grade. If you were not handed a a re-enrollment packet from your teacher, they are being mailed today.  If you do not receive your packet by mail in the next 2-3 business days, please contact the school secretary, Mrs. Nancy Schibler, at (510) 278-2598, or by e-mail at schoolsecretary@calvaryslz.org
   
Remember, submit your re-enrollment application and fee before Friday, January 30, 2015, to lock-in to your tuition payment plan.   
  
DID YOU GET THE MAIL?


Do you know of a CLS family who is not receiving our weekly (Friday) News & Event e-mails?  If you do, please have them contact the school secretary so that we can either check or enter their e-mail address into our mailing system and make sure they do not miss out on our important mailings.

CLS sends weekly (Friday) notices, as well as any and all updates, changes to the school calendar, emergency notices and other information via e-mail only, therefore it is very important for you the parent to check your e-mails from Calvary and read what is going on at Calvary.  Please note - If you choose to unsubscribe from one of our e-mails, you then unsubscribe to all of our e-mail communication.  
 
Again, contact the school secretary by phone at (510) 278-2598, or by e-mail at schoolsecretary@calvaryslz.org

Thank You!
The Cold and Flu Season are here... Sick Child
 
If you feel your child is sick or might be sick, we ask you to please keep them at home.  

If your child's temperature is 99 degrees or higher, it is considered a low-grade temperature.  Please keep your child at home as whatever your child has is now considered contagious.

A child must be fever free, without any medications in their system for 24 hours before they can return to school.

Is your child very tired?  Does s/he have a dry cough (as opposed to one that's mucus-y)?  Is his/her appetite decreased?  Any aches or chills?  

If your child shows any of these symptoms, we courage you to contact your local physician and discuss your child's symptoms.

Do not forget to let your school secretary know that your child will not be in school and if you would like to pick up any homework after school.

Thank You.
