BIG Thank you Parents!!!!!!

A big thank you to our families for donating over 110 bags of candy to our Harvest Party! Our staff and students had a fun-filled day. Do you want to see some of the AMAZING costumes, pumpkins, and Harvest Party festivities? Check out our website and social media pages for pictures. 

 

 

An invite to love!

If you are looking for a way to give back this Christmas Season, we’d love to invite you to help support the mission organization that we partner with in Honduras!! This amazing company, Children’s Cup, has Care Points across Honduras where they care for physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of children. Sometimes the only love or food these children receive comes from the Care Points. The stories of the impact they are transforming the lives of children across the country and the impact on the communities as a whole are absolutely incredible. Children’s Cup truly brings the love of Jesus in very practical ways. Below is a link to learn more about helping make this Christmas a little brighter for the children of Honduras. And remember — the students in our Upper School who go on the Honduras Mission Trip will be visiting these very children in April! https://friend.childrenscup.org/christmas-at-the-carepoints

Here are a couple common violations that we often see and you may want to pay special attention to before next week:

  • Ladies’ skirt length (should be knee length or longer)

  • Wearing collared polo shirts on all days other than Spirit Wear or Dress Down days (even under a school sweatshirt or ¾ zip sweater)

  • No facial hair for our young men

All school days on the calendar are considered full days unless otherwise specified through notification of special events.  According to our standards for Cognia Accreditation, Veritas keeps track of attendance and must have records of all students completing the required days of instruction, including satellite days.

In addition to our typical 32 week school year, we will have supplemental instruction during the summer months. Parents will be provided with two weeks of suggested assignments, required summer reading logs, and a self-directed field trip form. 

 

Special events such as the Opening Ceremony, Christmas program, the Easter program, NATA, and the Closing Ceremony are required. Students must attend and participate in these programs. 

 

Additional information on attendance policies and excused/unexcused absences can be found HERE in the 2023-2024 Parent/Student Handbook.
