February Chapel Date:

The date listed for February Chapel on the physical calendar handed out to families is incorrect. The correct date is February 27 at 2:45 PM, not February 20. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused!

Join us for the Orange City Christian School Soup Supper:

Bring your family and friends for an evening of great food and fellowship, hosted by TIGER P.A.W.S. (Parents & Advocates Willing to Serve). We can't wait to see you there!

Read a Million Words Challenge:

We’re thrilled to kick off our winter reading challenge - Read a Million Words Challenge - to inspire a love for reading and build stamina in our students! 

Here's how you can support this initiative at home:

1. Encourage Reading: Motivate your child to read regularly—during free time, after school, or before bed.
2. Track Words Read: After your child finishes a book or a few books, submit the total number of words in the book(s) using this Google Form. You can use ARBookFinder.com or https://wordcounters.com/ to find the word count of a book. (If the word count isn’t listed, an estimate based on the number of pages is fine!)

Together, let’s celebrate our reading journey! Stay tuned as we display our growing word count each morning at school. Thank you for helping us reach 1,000,000 words!

The board has approved a noon dismissal on Monday, February 24, 2025. There will be NO lunch served because of the noon dismissal. This will be a PD time for our teachers to train on our new math curriculum. The 1:30pm dismissal on Friday, February 28 will now be a full day of school.
