Study Tip for the Week: Plan ahead. Sit down with your child on Friday night or Saturday and read over the HAS (elementary) or the Weekly Test Schedule (secondary) together. Talk about the tests and assignments with your child to prepare before the week begins. A few minutes of discussion and study over the weekend can help take the pressure off in the middle of the week when the circus is in full swing. One elementary example is having your child learn the first 7 Latin and spelling words on Saturday. This puts them in the position of starting the following week ahead of the game. If your child is in 2nd-12th grade, their grades are available on FACTS. Many families use the weekend to check on academic progress so that they can help emphasize areas that may need extra attention.
------------- ELEMENTARY -------------

This position could begin as soon as the start of the second quarter. If you are interested, please send your resume to Tracie Handel (thandel@logosschool.com)
------------- SECONDARY -------------
1st Quarter Grades: We are one month away from 1st quarter grades. Please take the time to visit the FACTS (aka RenWeb) parents portal to check on the progress of your children. For students who are struggling with their grades, knowing where they stand now will help you help their teachers to encourage your children to study hard for the remainder of the quarter.
