JOSTENS' - Memory Book | P L E A S E R E A D CCS - HEALTH & MEDICAL INFORMATION  *COLD AND FLU SEASON ARE HERE AND IT IS HITING THE WEST COAST AND BAY AREA VERY STRONG THIS SEASON ~ 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 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 (NO fever), no diarrhea, and no vomiting, WITHOUT any medication (i.e. Acetaminophen/Tylenol, Ibuprofen/Motrin) in their system for at least 24 hours before they can return to school. Important steps to help stop the spread of germs: - Stay home while sick and limit contact with others
- Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing with your sleeve or disposable tissue
- Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based sanitizer
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
If you have any questions regarding your child's symptoms, please contact your physician's office and/or doctor.
Thank you! | MAKE HAND-WASHING A HABIT!  *MAKE HAND-WASHING A HABIT ~ Kids who wash their hands at least four times a day have a 24 percent fewer sick days from colds and flue, and 51 percent fewer sick days due to stomach illnesses (Amer Public Hlth Assoc).
Teach kids to scrub their whole hands - up to the wrists and under the fingernails - and to do it long enough to sing the ABCs or "Happy Birthday" all the way through. A timer works well, too.
| BEFORE YOU KNOW IT - YOUR PPP HOURS ARE DUE
Please remember to complete your PPP hours before the deadline, April 1, 2017, or the charge will be placed on your Smart Tuition, April 15, 2017.
There are many ways to complete those PPP hours. Below you will find just a few examples: - Attend a CFA Meeting. 1 hour meeting, deduct 1 PPP hour. There is a CFA Meeting this Tuesday, January 17, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall.
- Rachel Scott and the CFA Hot Lunch program can use your help on Fridays. Great way to help with hot lunch, see your child(ren) with their classmates, as your child sees their mom, dad, aunt, uncle, or even a grandparent helping and serving in the kitchen, while you are burning those PP hours away - how cool!
- Donate one dozen cookies and/or brownies to the Open House on Thursday, February 16, 2017, and one PPP hour will be deducted from your account. Donate two dozen and 2 PPP hours will be deducted. Donate three dozen cookies and 4 PPP hours will be deducted.
If you have any questions, you may contact the school secretary, Mrs. Nancy or Rachel Scott, CFA/Hot Lunch Coordinator, at (510) 278-2598. | ~ IMPORTANT NOTES & REMINDERS ~ (updated 11/04/16)  *AFTER SCHOOL PICK-UP ~ Plan to pick up your child(ren) by 3:00 p.m. every day. Half- days are 11:30 a.m. If you are unable to pick up your child by 3:10 p.m. (or 11:40 a.m. on half-days), your child(ren) will automatically be sent to Calvary Club and you will be held responsible for any charges.  *HOT LUNCH ~ Hot Lunch is on Friday, full-days only. Hot lunch MUST be ordered no later than Tuesday, 12:00 noon, before the Friday Hot Lunch is served. If you child brings money the day of hot lunch, your child may not be guaranteed a "Friday Hot Lunch." Students who paid and signed up ahead of time will be served first. Click on the blue Hot Lunch Menu to download a menu Hot Lunch - Guidelines & Order Form (Jan. - May 2017)  *SNACK TABLE ~ There is a snack table at the every Friday Hot Lunch table. Each item is .25 cents and there is a limit of two (2) items per student. We have items like cookies, fruit snacks, string cheese, pretzel, beef jerky, pickles and more.  *CLS IS A PEANUT/TREE NUT FREE SCHOOL CAMPUS ~ We have several students who are extremely sensitive to any and all peanut/tree nut products and this is very dangerous to their health and well-being. Some students could even have such a severe reaction to nuts that it becomes life-threatening. Please do not send your child to school with any snacks or lunches that have peanuts or are from a nut type tree. These types of snacks and lunches might be reserved for something special, like a special treat at home.  *BE ON TIME/PUNCTUALITY ~ It is important for all of our children to learn that getting to school on time, turning in assignments thoroughly completed and within the allotted days, and always being prepared are not only vital for school but important elements of success as an adult.
 * REST & NUTRITION ~ Make sure your child gets adequate rest every night and a nourishing breakfast each morning. Your child needs a good fruit break and lunch each day. Please do not send soft drinks or sugary treats.  *LOST & FOUND ~ Please check the Lost & Found bin and recover your child's clothes, or other valuables. Please write the name of your child/student on clothes and valuables in case they get misplaced. If the name is on the item, we can often return it to its owner. **Clothing items not recover at the end of each quarter are being donated.  *PARTNERS IN WORSHIP (PIW) ~ Video(s) are now on-line.

"Resurrection: Our New Body" 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 What a scene will occur at the sounding of the Lord's trumpet! The "dead in Christ" will emerge from their resting places all over the earth and soar into the sky; these saints' resurrected bodies will reunite with their spirits, which will have been residing in heaven with Jesus. Close behind them will follow believers who haven't yet departed this life--at that moment, they'll miraculously be changed as they are "caught up . . . to meet the Lord in the air" (1 Thess. 4:16-17). The description sounds extraordinary, but in fact, the plan is practical. We're going to need a body with which to enjoy the new heaven and new earth that Jesus is preparing for His followers. However, earthly flesh and bones will not do. They age, break, and succumb to sin. So God promised to transform our humble structures into glorious bodies like the one Christ had after His resurrection. Common temptations and limitations will be gone. In addition, our physical substance will be altered so that we are not restricted by time and space. Remember, Jesus didn't bother with doors (John 20:19)! Our new bodies will be suited for the environment where we are to dwell forever--an ageless eternity in which all of our needs are perfectly met. Each believer will still be him- or herself. Friends and family long separated will recognize one another; our personalities will be unchanged, except that we'll be absolutely sinless. At last, you and I will be the persons that God intends for us to be. And we'll be housed in a body fashioned like that of Christ--perfect, sinless, and complete.
 Please continue to keep Calvary Christian School - the faculty, staff, students, volunteers, and parents in your prayers throughout the school year and for 2017-18.
