LOGOS SCHOOL UPDATE – 2021 – Fall #2

————-  GENERAL  ————-

Grievance / Improvement Policy:  Logos is committed to making small improvements each year so that our school becomes better over time. If you have a suggestion that you think would help improve the school, or if you have a concern (or grievance) with someone involved with the school, please follow the Grievance / Improvement Policy listed in the Parent/Student Handbook. Here are a few basics to keep in mind:

  1. Always assume the best (the two greatest commandments are to love God and to love your neighbor).

  2. Go directly to the person responsible and graciously ask for their perspective. Explain your concern or idea. Do not pass your concern along to others as this can hurt the school, spread gossip, and possibly make the problem worse.

  3. If you still have a concern, go to the next level of authority. We want to hear from you and we want to use your perspective to help improve the school.

Picture Days This Week: Families may choose an outfit: dress uniform or in a special outfit of your choice. This is not a day to dress down (professional sports jerseys, jeans, etc.).  Modesty standards still apply.   The photographer recommends avoiding light colors – dark is better.  We have “proof” ordering this year; no pre-ordering. Everyone will receive an email and a “proof” letter, with a personal access code for each student’s photos.  You will view and pick the best photo to order.  All photo orders will be mailed directly to parents.  Our individual pictures days are:

Logos South            Tuesday 8/31/21

Logos Nazarene Campus    Wednesday 9/1/21

Logos Main Campus        Thursday 9/2/21

 

School on Labor Day.  A reminder that Logos has school on Monday, Sept 6th.  Logos doesn’t take 3-day weekends so we can take an entire week off in October.  The school calendar for 2021-22 with all holidays, etc. is found on the Logos website here:  Annual Calendar

 

————-  SECONDARY  ————-

Honors Classes: Additional opportunities to take honors classes will be presented to the 10th and 12th grades in Biology and Literature respectively.  Teachers will provide invitations to prospective honors students by Friday this week.

Qualities of a Knight: Each day during the student announcements, home room teachers will be reading, “The Qualities of a Knight” to the students.  Each day will feature a particular attribute of Knights that was covered during the Secondary Welcome Assembly.  This may provide you with solid “grist for the mill” during dinner table discussions with your secondary students.

 

————-  ELEMENTARY  ————-

Assembly Accompaniment Tryouts:  4th – 6th grade students are welcome to tryout to accompany singing at elementary assemblies.  Tryouts will take place Wednesday, September 9 @ 12:00 in the lunchroom.  Student accompanists receive one free hot lunch for every assembly they accompany. Mr. Becker distributed the music on Monday, 8/30.

Speech Meet: Speech Meet information packets will be coming home with your students this week. All students in 1st-6th grade participate. Selections are due to teachers September 13.
