Christmas Party this Tuesday, December 12


10:00am to 12:00 noon


Our Christmas party is Tuesday, December 12 from 10:00am–12:00noon. It will begin with the Creative Arts presentation in the sanctuary and then the students will be dismissed to their respective parties. The Kindergarteners and KinderPrep students will check in to their classrooms first, and attend as a group. To make this work, those students should arrive to their classroom by 9:45. We would like to have everyone in the sanctuary and seated by 10:00am.

If you are part of the Creative Arts presentation, you should have received an email from the teacher with instructions for arrival.

We would like to bless our host church with donations of paper towels, napkins or plates as a show of appreciation for their hospitality. Those can be dropped off at the regular check in counter near the gym.

Picture Day November 28, 9:00—11:00am

Jerry Kramer will be taking school pictures on Tuesday, November 28 from 9:00am-11:00am.
 
Jerry has been gracious again this year to not charge for yearbook photos.  We don’t want anyone left out!  So, please plan on having your child’s picture taken for the yearbook even if you aren’t planning on ordering anything.

      We will be starting with the youngest students and working our way up.  All attending families should have received an email with an order form attached for you to printout and fill out ahead of time if you wish.  He will have forms the day of as well.  You will need one form per child, but one check can be written per family.  Children are welcome to bring other clothes to change into after their photo has been taken.

     If your child is only at a REACH after 11:00am please make arrangements to have them here by 10:30 to ensure their picture will be taken.

You can turn them in to the admin assistant at the check in table.

4. Arrive a few minutes before your first scheduled class of the day. Give yourself time to check in, and look over the admin/check in table.

ENROLLMENT IS CLOSED FOR THE 2017 FALL SEMESTER

New Host Location

We have been graciously hosted by Cornerstone Community Church for the last 5 years, but due to the expansion of their licensed day care program we can no longer fit.
Town and Country Christian Church at 4925 SW 29th Street (66614) has welcomed us with open arms and will be our new host site. They are easy to get to off of the highway and are right up SW 29th street by ACE Hardware. (Close to Fairlawn) Our mailbox is still active at Cornerstone Church, so any forms mailed there will continue to be collected, or you can mail them to REACH c/o Town and Country Church at the address above.


Parent Meeting August 7 at 6:30pm

We will have a parents only meeting Monday, August 7 at 6:30pm. Come check out our new location before school begins and meet some of the teachers. This meeting is not mandatory for attending REACH but will provide you with helpful information, material from teachers, and an opportunity to ask questions. Another key ingredient to this meeting is to fill some of the open volunteer spots needed for the first week of school. This will be your first chance at picking an Area of Parent Partnership. The more people that help, the less turns each one takes. Classroom signs will be posted and at the end of the meeting you can go on a self guided tour to locate the rooms your students will be using.  We are endeavoring to keep this a brief informational meeting for parents verses a meet and greet with students; no child care will be provided. Enrolled families will receive an email about this meeting. If you are enrolled and do not receive an email, please contact us at reachhomeschoolcoop@gmail.com. We are looking forward to seeing you!

We will now have a Math Enrichment class for 7th grade and older which will be tailored to the students enrolled. For elementary students there is an option of 2 shorter classes which will use fun games and other strategies to assist them with mastering their basic math skills. (Private tutoring sessions can be scheduled with her between 9:30 and 10:00am.) All math offerings will need to be enrolled through and paid directly to the math instructor. See the Fall Semester tab for details.
