To Christian Parents
Kenneth Kremer
The Top Ten

2. Agree with your spouse on the fundamentals of parenting. The differing views on parenting held by a father and mother may not be evident until a child has already learned how to manipulate them. This can bring ruin to a happy Christian household (and untold harm to a child). Usually one parent ends up giving in to the other just to maintain peace, regardless of who is using biblical principles. Parents need to get on the same page. This requires some work in the form of meaningful discussions. Where God’s Word gives direction, there is no room for compromise. Where it is not specific, both parents need to be prepared to compromise.

3. Be Spiritual leaders. The Bible doesn’t leave much doubt as to who has the primary responsibility for bringing children to Jesus. Christian parents need to lead their children to the Savior by having them baptized and by maintaining spiritual activities in the home. These activities include attending church regularly, praying daily at mealtimes and bedtimes, reading bible stories and devotions, and making use of Christian education opportunities such as Sunday school and full-time Lutheran schools.

4. Be examples. Match the expectations you have for your child’s behavior by living out those same expectations in your own life. In short, "Walk the talk".

Milk
Information regarding free or reduced cost milk for eligible families was attached to last week’s News for You. Please return application form in a sealed envelope to our school secretary, Mrs. Patten, if you believe your family may be eligible.

Before/After School Care
Remember that Before School Care begins at 7:30 for this school year instead of 7:00. Students should enter through the gym/upper grades wing door and report to the cafeteria.

Also remember that students still on campus at 3:20 are placed into After School Care.

School Pictures

Parking
Just a reminder for the safety of our school community parents should not use the Milwaukee St. staff parking area to drop off or pick up students. The Union St. parking lot is to be used for drop off and pick up. When driving entering, exiting or just backing up in the parking area please keep a watchful eye out for our students. Thanks!

GradeKeeper
Student IDs needed to access our online grade book, GradeKeeper, were distributed on Parent Information Night. If you were unable to attend please contact your child’s teacher for your student’s ID. GradeKeeper is available for students in gr. 3-8.
