SAT testing:
·
Sunday night, there will be set up for SAT
testing. If anyone is at evening church, please consider helping with the set
up.
·
Konni will be bringing up dividers from the
library to the classrooms.
o
Every other student will have a divider.
o
Collect dividers at the end of testing (on
Tuesday), and bring them downstairs.
·
Room proctors should have received rosters.
·
If your child has a specific issue (an allergy,
trouble sitting near a certain peer) or is particularly nervous, please email
the child’s room proctor. Let the proctor know any information that would be
helpful to the proctor.
·
Be on campus by 8:30 if you are a proctor.
·
Get to campus early in order to give your child
a chance “to get the wiggles out.”
·
There will be six people assigned to the gym and
lunch table. Three will be supervising the lunch tables, and three will be
supervising the gym.
·
If you are leaving campus, check in and leave
your cell number. Return plenty of time before your first child is scheduled to
be finished.
·
Proctors should count test booklets when picking
them up and turning them in. Pick up from Christine outside of Grace Grill.
·
Proctors and room helpers should supervise the
students to make sure no one is especially messy with the bubbles. Try to fix
what you can before leaving for the day. Be proactive.
Any books that still need “cleaning up” you may work on at moms’ time on
Friday.
·
If you are scheduled to be in the nursery,
please arrive on time. Rachael will be the contact person on Monday, and Marina
will be the contact person on Tuesday.
·
If you are working in the gym, you can keep your
nursery child with you while you are working.
·
Only proctors and room helpers can put nursery
children in the nursery after lunch.
·
You should feed your nursery child lunch during
your scheduled lunch.
·
On Tuesday, there is no gym after lunch.

Have students wear their uniforms.
Advancement Night
·
In the moms’ room, there is a list to check off
your name and an envelope where you can put $12 for advancement night food.
· Julie
e-mailed everyone regarding the instructions for the advancement night posters.
These directions only apply to parents of 6th, 8th, and
12th graders. Here is what she e-mailed:
6th
graders:
*
One poster board about 22in x 28in - please make this portrait not
landscape (vertical not horizontal)
*
Pictures - This can include with pictures that characterize who they are and
what is important to them. This can just be pictures or like a scrapbook page
and would be best if it had their name on it for those guests who don't
know them.
*
Please leave places at the top to allow for two hole punches so they can be
hung on lattice...
*
Please also keep in mind the red, white and blue theme….
8th/12th
graders:
*
One three-fold poster board to place on a table top.
*
Pictures and name (the same guidelines as the 6th graders above)
*
Please keep the red, white and blue theme in mind also
*
There is a small amount of room in front of the three fold portion that
students can display items that are important to them - for example, small
trophy, favorite book, something they have made, etc…
These
all should be brought to the day time rehearsal of Advancement Night (May 28).
Please
remember that it takes some time to get the pictures printed and the layout
done
·
On May 28, 9:00 a.m. everybody needs to be here
and working to help get ready for advancement night.
·
On the days of SAT testing, there will be a
table outside with a poster. On the poster, all moms and students should write
their signature and what they are thankful for with a red or blue pen (also on
the table). Supervise your child when he or she is doing this. This poster will
be one of the decorations for advancement night.
·
Next week, we have table time and will be
discussing chapter 8 of Choosing
Gratitude.
o
Bring back your prayer request sheets filled
out. They should have been in your mailboxes.
Next Year:
·
The leadership committee is the Mike and Susan
O., Rick and Julie S., Ross and Kristen H. and Brian and Christine R. It
includes both the husband and wives.
·
Applications are coming in. Registration fees go
up after next Friday, April 26. Enrollment will be closing June 15.
·
We have been talking a lot about the changes to
PSP. PSP will be an independent entity
with no outside teachers or principal. PSP will have no outside record keeper
or accountant.
·
PSP will continue seamlessly.
·
Dads will continue to be here each week.
·
Every mom needs to be at PSP from 8:30-12:30
every Friday. Friday is not the time for appointments and errands. You are here.
Of course, there are exceptions for illness and emergencies, but as a rule, you
are here and at moms’ time. If there are
extenuating circumstances, and you would like to appeal, there is a form
available. The appeal needs to be made now.
o
This is for security reasons. There will be no
school nurse or school office.
o
This is for class reasons. Everyone needs to
help so that all the class positions are covered.
o
This is for information reasons, so that
everyone can hear about deadlines and requirements, without many repetitions
and emails.
o
This is for ministry reasons. Homeschooling is difficult. We desire for moms to support one another
with prayer, curriculum help, spiritual needs, and accountability.
o
Evaluate what is right for your family and whether
you can make the commitment to PSP. Pray about it. Make sure this is where you
can commit.
o
Moms will be in moms’ time from 8:30-12:30.
Students will be in classes from 8:30-12:30. Babies will be in the nursery from
8:30-12:30.
·
If you are struggling, do not be struggling
alone. Ask for help.
·
For service positions, if your child is sick and
you cannot come, there will be an exchange system, where you can swap positions
with another mom.
Surveys
·
We will be discussing the results of the surveys
in further detail next week.
·
For the 50 states class (K-1), we still need a
teacher or someone to organize a co-op. The class has already been designed,
and Kim Draper will give you the binder.
·
Cinnamon will be organizing the sibling class
after lunch. If you have a child in this class, you will take a month.
·
For PE, Rachael’s husband will have a K-1 and
2-3 class in the basement if the church gives us the OK to use the basement.
Misc.
·
The CHEA convention is coming up June 6, 7, and
8th at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim. This is a great way to see
all types of curriculum and to actually be able to look at materials before
ordering them. You can collect catalogs and write notes. The website is
CHEAofCA.org.
·
If you have a child in 6th grade or
above, you should start thinking about high school now. If you are considering
home schooling in high school start researching curriculum and requirements. Take a look at The High School Handbook: Junior and Senior High School at Home by
Mary Schofield.
·
You can sign up for the USS Iowa field trip until
next Friday. Please note that the price has changed. It is now $7 per person.
This includes students and adults. This will most likely be a self-guided tour.
Elections
·
Parents of students in the government class,
please exhort your students not to joke about the election. They should not ask
people who they voted for even in a joking manner. Thank you!
·
Final presidential election will occur next
Friday. Children 3rd grade
and above may vote before school or at recess.
Moms, please vote before 10:30, outside of Grace Grill.
