Clothing Swap time! Drop off your gently used children’s clothing/shoes/jackets/baby gear/maternity clothes/toys in the Atrium on Sept 11 between 1-5pm (or you can bring it to Women’s Life on the 10th).

 Since we will be meeting only 2 times per month, the price will be $20 per month.

Please go ahead and purchase for your child the student book, God’s Best is Me,  by Dr Jeanne Sheffield. Thanks everyone!

If by some chance you missed the Mandatory 🙂 meeting last night, the biggest change has to do with new due dates for progress reports and transcripts to make it less complicated for families. All of this info is available in the 2014-2015 Handbook (https://cbccahomeschooling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/cbcca-14-15-handbook.pdf)

Here are the revised dates – 

Progress Reports
Grades K-8
November 21, 2014, March 6, 2015, May 29, 2015

Transcripts
& Progress Reports

Grades 9-11
January 9, 2015 and May 29, 2015

Grade 12
January 9, 2015 and May 22, 2015

Three times a year, members of Community Bible Church Christian Academy must submit a progress report. A progress report provides a record of what your student(s) are studying and their strengths and weaknesses in these subjects. Here are some basic rules of what your progress report should include:

• List Community Bible Church Christian Academy, along with the student’s name, grade and the date of the progress report.
• It should reflect the dates and the total number of days of instruction.We are required to have 180 days instruction each year. Please show this in your progress report.
• List the subjects studied, a brief description of each course, curriculum and books used and an indicator of how the student is doing in each course. Examples are a narrative explaining his progress, a grade or an indication such as satisfactory or unsatisfactory progress.
• Please follow the Uniform Grading Scale for High School Students as required by South Carolina law. Include a sample of assigned work for each subject as appropriate.
• A sample of your plan book for that reporting period.
• If the student has fulfilled all the requirements for the school year and is ready for the next grade level, the parent must provide a statement showing this on the last progress report of the year.
• For students third grade and above, please provide a copy of their standardized achievement test as a part of their permanent record.
• In addition, a separate transcript is required for High School Students. Each instructor is responsible for preparing their students’ official transcripts. These should be started during the students’ freshman year and kept up-to-date for use when it is time to apply for colleges. Copies of final transcripts must be turned into Pastor Broggi for signature before applying for college. Downloadable transcripts and samples are available here.

I expect this to be the trend (see below) with more and more colleges. In light of that I can say that my preferred method of receiving transcripts is via email, in WORD or Excel. That way I can update them when needed. Thanks-Claudia

Clip and collect your box tops and we will forward them to Box Tops for Education – each box top is worth 10¢.   You can sign up on the box top website for additional entry opportunities.  When you sign up, be sure to use Community Bible Church Christian Academy (zip code 29901) as your school.  Any additional box tops (digital or through special opportunities) will be assigned to your login and then will roll up to CBCCA.

Campbell Soup Labels    http://www.labelsforeducation.com/

With the Campbell Soup labels we collect, we are able to purchase merchandise from the Campbell Soup merchandise catalog.  We will collect the labels here and forward them to the company, but the website has additional offers that you can sign up for online.  Please go to the website, create a login, and add Community Bible Church as your school.

You can bring your labels to the church.  Our collection box is in the resource room of the Childrens Building.  Please spread the word to your family members and other church members.  I set a goal of $1000 on our Box Top website.  Lets see if we can pull together and reach it.  It would be great to have another end of the year field trip paid for!!!

If you have any questions at all, please contact me and I will be more than willing to help you.  I prefer texting and email as it is difficult for me to answer my phone during the day.  Just make sure to tell me who you are if you send me a text!!

Blessings,
