Calvary Christian School

Weeks of July 23 and July 30, 2010 

The First Day of School

The first day of school will be August 30, 2010. We are looking forward to seeing our students again.

Family Packets Mailed

By now, all families that have officially registered their students for the 2010-2011 school year should have received their full registration package.  It is very important that these are completed and returned to the school by July 23, 2010.  This will allow time for administrative processing to occur which will result in a smooth first week of school. Thank you in advance for helping us with this process.

Middle/High School Summer Retreat RESCHEDULED for October

Due to a scheduling conflict, this event has been postponed until after we get back to school! Mr. Wallace goofed, and forgot his youngest son's wedding was the same week. Wow, is he in the dog house! Watch for more details very soon on the exact dates.

Uniform Closet

If you would like to save a few dollars on uniform cost, please call the school to arrange a time to visit the uniform closet.  There is no charge to pick through the recycled uniforms.  They are there for others to use. We ask that you trade in the old uniforms if that possible, but this is voluntary. Uniforms are available on a first come, first served basis.

New Families Coming to CCS!

We are always excited to meet parents who want a Christ centered education for their children. Please contact the school for details about our school and to set up a campus tour and interview.

$100 Registration Fee plus book cost

$900 per class ($90x10 months)

It is the desire of the administration of Calvary Christian School to make a Christian education possible for families who truly want Christ at the center of their child's education. However, with over a $900,000 operating budget in place for the 2010-2011 fiscal year, the administration of the school must balance the needs of families and the need to maintain a high quality Christian education to the students who attend the school.

With this in mind, the following scholarships are available at this time:

The administration of Calvary Christian School understands the financial hardships faced by a single parent who wants a Christian education for their child. Because of this, the school has approved five scholarships of between $840-1200 for single parents who need help with the before and after school cost of daycare when their student attends CCS. These scholarships are for new families entering the school for the 2010-2011 school year. Single parents who meet the financial criteria and who can provide a reference from their pastor are encouraged to contact the school’s administrator for additional details.

The Academic Lion Scholarship is awarded to students entering 7^th-12^th grades who have a 3.5 grade point average or higher upon entering Calvary Christian School AND who can provide a letter of reference from their pastor. The amount of the scholarship will be $500 per year from the date of admission and is subject to the student maintaining the 3.5 GPA each school year.

 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. ²My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
