Come out and cheer for our CLS students as they compete against other Lutheran school students in our annual 
Track & Field Meet.

We need at least 15 parents to assist with ball throwing/distance competition, different races, officiating, helping with scores, help with clean up and so much more. 

CLS is in charge of the Track Meet this year, 
so we need extra help after the meet in making sure the fields are clean and free of debris.

There is a kiosk at the entrance of the field where they will be selling hot dogs, nachos, sodas and other goodies.  

Do not forget to bring your water bottles and suntan lotion.


Your PPP Hours (dollar amount) is being added to your account  

If your name is still on the PPP Hours Log Sheet in the school office stating that you owe so many PPP hours, please note these hours are being added to your May 15, 2015 tuition.  1 PPP hour is equivalent to $10.00.  

If you have any questions,or you would like to make the payment for your remaining balance, please contact the school secretary at (510) 278-2598.

     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 99.6 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 and not vomiting, WITHOUT any medications (Acetaminophen/ Tylenol, Ibuprofen/Motrin) in their system for at least 24 hours before they can return to school.

If your child suddenly comes down with the following symptoms:  fever, headache, muscle aches, sore throat, cough, fatigue, nausea or vomiting - we encourage 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.  If you would like to pick up any homework after school, please let the secretary know at that time.

Thank You!
