Important Message from Dr. Chivalette

Dear Calvary Lutheran School Families and Friends,
 
     Greetings, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  The school year is moving quickly as we rapidly approach the end of our first quarter, on October 23rd.  Students and teachers are getting to know each other and there is a wonderful sense of calm settling over our PS-8th grade campus.
 
     As most are aware, the school is preparing for its mid-term accreditation visit by Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the National Lutheran School Association (NLSA) set for November 16 and 17.  The mid-term visit is designed to ensure that CLS is actively addressing previously identified areas from our 2012 visit. 
 
      At present, there is so much happening at CLS with our 7th and 8th grade students preparing to leave for their incredible outdoor education experience October 6-9.  Later in the month of October, all parents will be required to attend our parent/teacher conferences scheduled for October 29th and 30th.  Your child's classroom teacher will provide times for you to select based upon availability.  First quarter report cards will be handed out during the parent conferences.  Our faculty will also work to accommodate families with multiple students in different grades.  

     Also worth noting is the unveiling of our new school logo which will be placed on t-shirts, polos, and hoodie sweatshirts. Shirt samples will be shown at the next Calvary Family Association (CFA) meeting on Monday, October 13th.  Following that date we will be sending out order forms and pricing for t-shirts, polo shirts, and hoodie sweatshirts to all current families.  Please note that students may continue to follow our previously established dress code if they wish to do so. 
 
     On a separate note, below you will find an attachment with a brief parent survey consisting of eight (8) questions for our upcoming accreditation visit.  I would ask that you complete the survey and return it via e-mail to Mrs. Nancy Schibler schoolsecretary@calvaryslz.org  no later than Monday, October 13th.  Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
