CDC and DPH Quarantining Guidelines

The CDC and the DPH have recently updated their guidance to schools regarding quarantining and isolation due to COVID exposure or positive COVID tests. 

If students meet certain criteria, these guidelines provide a way for students to return to school after as little as five days. 

Please let us know if your child has a COVID exposure. We will work with you to meet our school goal of maximizing the number of in-person learning days for healthy students. 

Culver’s Night

Culver’s of Lawrenceville (1133 Scenic HWY) has agreed to donate 10% of their sales on January 25th between 5:00 and 8:00pm to Sola Fide Academy. Sola Fide will receive 10% of ALL sales during that time frame. There is also an extra prize for the class with the most participation, so students should mention their teacher’s name when they make their order. Drive Thru, Take Out, and Dine In orders will all count towards both the 10% and the classroom contest. Happy Dining!

Archery Club

Archery club is starting for students in third through eighth grade. Parents of these students should fill out the form to indicate their child’s interest and availability to participate in this club. Depending on the number of interested archers, students will shoot on either Monday or Wednesday. Initially, practice will go from 3:45 to 4:45. We will see if we need to expand the timeframe based on the number of students.

BUCKETS PLEASE!!

Ms. Dianna is putting together a few emergency kits, and is in search of small buckets. If you have small buckets (the large ice cream container size), please drop them off outside her office. 

Re-enrollment

Our re-enrollment for the coming school year will be starting soon. In some of our larger grade levels, we expect classes to fill up soon. Packets will be going home next week. Re-enrollment is a simple process that only takes a few minutes. If you have any pressing questions, please contact Mr. Schmiege or Mrs. Lapp ASAP.
