General

Enrollment for 2011-12: We are currently accepting applications for the 2011-2012 school year.  If you would like to add your child to the enrollment pool, applications can be found at http://logosprincipalspage.com/?cat=14 . A few applications have been submitted for next year’s preschool.

Friday: This Friday we will begin our normal pattern of wearing our dress uniforms.  Sometimes it is tempting to want to slide into the weekend both mentally and physically.  By dressing up we want to remind ourselves and each other to finish strong.

Elementary

Elementary Back to School Night: Please save this Friday, September 3 from 7:00 to 8:30 PM on your calendar.  Back to School Night is a time to meet your child’s teacher and find out more about the school and class. This event is for parents only, please.  Feel free to stay awhile afterward to enjoy fellowship and dessert!

Assembly Accompaniment Tryouts: 4^th – 6^th grade students are welcome to tryout to accompany singing at elementary assemblies.  Tryouts will take place Thursday, September 16^th @ 12:00 in the lunch room.  Student accompanists receive one free hot lunch for every assembly they accompany. See Mr. Whitling for a copy of the two songs.

Secondary

Extra Curricular Activities & Attendance: With the first volleyball and cross country competitions right around the corner, this is a good time to clarify the guidelines for missed school work. If a student misses part of a day due to a planned extra-curricular event (leaving school early for an away game) all homework is still due that day and should be turned into his teacher’s box before departure. – Student/Parent Handbook

Secondary Back to School Night: On September 10 from 7:00-9:00 PM we will re-enact, in miniature, a secondary school day.  This is an opportunity for parents to come and sit under the instruction of their child’s teachers as we move through all seven periods contained in a normal school day.  Come and learn apologetics from Mr. Euhus, Classical Literature from Mrs. Merkle and PE from Mrs. Spencer and Mr. Whitling as we help provide a fuller picture of what your secondary student receives each day.

Field Day this Friday: This is our beginning of the year ice-breaker for the 7th – 12th graders.  Students can meet at Robinson Lake Park at 9:00 AM or they can come to school at 8:30 AM and catch a ride on the bus.

You do not need to be in dress code this day, but your attire should be conservative and modest. The park is 3 miles east of Moscow on Robinson Park Road.

Honors Designation: This year we will again be offering students in a select number of our upper level classes the option of completing advanced studies in order to receive the designation of “Honors” on their transcript.  See the attachment for details.

Attached is information regarding Speech Meet here at Logos School. As you look through it, you will find general information about the program, suggestions for helping your child at home, and specific category rules.   The kids will be working on their presentations in their English/Literature class, but it will increase their success if you listen to their presentation at home a few times and give tips based on the attached.   Direct any questions on specifics to your child’s English teacher.

John Carnahan Activities/Program Director

Attached are forms and fee information relating to secondary extra-curricular activities. All secondary students pay a fee for each activity in which they participate, including 6th graders for those activities available to them (junior high volleyball, basketball, lacrosse, and track). Only high school athletes (not junior high) complete one or both of the attached forms.

Please take a moment to look over this information if your secondary child/children will be involved in any of the extra-curricular activities listed. High school parents, you might want to take the time now to complete the required forms if you know your high school child/children will be participating. Fees for all levels can wait for the opening day of practice.

If you have any questions, please give Vicki Church or me a call or stop in at the school.
