School Beautification Jan 31 12:30-3:00

School Beautification                                                                                                                           In preperation of our upcoming Open House we will be having a clean-up party on Friday 1/31 from 12:30-3:00. This is a half day so we are hoping that you will be able to come and stay for a bit when you pick up your child and help spruce up our school. This is another way to get those PPP hours taken care.

Calvary Club Changes

Clavary Club Changes                                                                                                                           January 24, 2014   Dear Calvary Club Parents,   In an effort to adapt to a more streamlined process, we will be using a "Time Keeper" system that allows you to check your child in, and check your child out of Calvary Club without the need to sign up for packages.    Beginning February 1st, Calvary Club will no longer provide the packages previously offered.  Utilizing Smart Tuition's Time Keeper application on the computer in Calvary Club, will allow parents to check their child in when they arrive, and check their child out when they need to depart.  There is no need to pay for time not used.  Parents will be billed for the time their child was in Calvary Club.   We hope that this process provides streamlined ease of checking children in/out, and ease of payment with Smart Tuition's direct billing.    Thank you for your partnership and allowing us to serve you!   Fred E. Brauer CLS Principal
