Rising 3K Enrollment
We are working on enrolling new 3K students in Ms. Kim’s classroom. If you have a rising 3K student or would like to recommend us to a friend with a youngster, please reach out to Mr. Schmiege so we can get the enrollment process started.
Input on Our School’s Future
The last few years have seen Sola Fide Academy’s student population grow to a point where we have to make some exciting decisions about the future. The faculty, the Board of Education, and members of Sola Fide’s Church Council have all been pondering which steps might be best for our future. Should we grow? Should we stay the same? Should we expand to include high school? If you’d like to share a thought in this vein, please reach out to Mr. Schmiege, or talk to your classroom teacher. We are also holding a pair of forums on the subject on Sunday, March 26th at 9:15 am, and on Wednesday, March 29th at 6:30 pm.
Spring Break and Easter Monday
Spring Break is just around the corner! It’s April 3-10. This year Spring Break coincides with Holy Week. We would be happy to have worship with us as we contemplate the bittersweet goodbye on Maundy Thursday, the somber, but grace-filled reality of Good Friday, and the earth-shattering joy of Easter Sunday.
Because our faculty is usually deeply involved in our church’s Easter celebration, we also have the day off of school on Easter Monday, April 10th.
Third Quarter Report Cards
Report Cards for the third quarter have been finalized. They are available for 1st-8th grade students at educate.tads.com. If you don’t have a login for that site, or don’t know how to log in, please contact Mr. Schmiege.
