Parent Volunteers

Throughout the school year, there will be many opportunities for parents to volunteer and serve our students and school community. From special events and field trips to transportation and other activities, your involvement makes a meaningful difference.

Coffee & Conversations

PARENTS: Each Thursday and Friday morning during the school year between 8:30–10:30am, Mr. Stevens is available for you to schedule a meeting in the cafe here at the school. These meetings are designed to provide space for open conversation: a chance for me to hear your heart, listen to your hopes for your student, gather your feedback, and answer any questions you may have. It will also be a chance for me to share about how God is moving and growing our Middle and High School programs and to invite you to be a part of it all.

Computer Contract

Chromebook Update: Beginning this school year, Middle School students will no longer be assigned individual Chromebooks through a 1:1 device model. Instead, we are transitioning to a shared Chromebook cart system that will be available throughout our Middle School classrooms. Students will continue to have access to Chromebooks when needed for classroom instruction, assignments, and projects, while allowing us to be more intentional about when and how technology is used.

High School students will continue with our 1:1 Chromebook model, as technology is used more regularly within the structure of their classes and coursework.

Locker Sign-Up

Students have the opportunity to sign up for a locker by clicking the "Locker Sign-Up" link. We are encouraging students to sign up and utlilize these lockers as they will have textbooks, notebooks and resources that are class specific and will not be necessary to carry around each day.
