MAP Testing

During the week of January 8 and 15 we will be taking our second MAP (Measurement of Academic Progress) testing in both Reading and Math. If your child will not be in class during this time frame please let me know so we can make sure we get them tested while they are at school.

Addition: This window has been extended through the 26th of January.

Semester One and Report Cards

Friday - January 19, 2024 will be the end of our first semester in Kindergarten. Your student has been working so hard and learning so many new things.
Report cards will be available through Power School starting Friday, January 26 at 3:00 PM. This will highlight the areas we have been working on and will give you an idea of where they are at. If you have questions or need clarification after reviewing the report card please feel free to reach out to me.

CORRECTION:  report cards will be printed and sent home with your student on Friday, January 19.

Second semester we are going to continue to do a lot of learning and growing. Expectations will be getting a little higher, as we are preparing for first grade. I will continue to send home weekly progress reports with skills we are working on as well as sending daily homework that you can do with your student to help reinforce concepts we are learning in the classroom.

Snow Days

Winter has arrived in West Michigan and with this comes snow - lots of snow!!

With this snow comes School Closings and School Delays. Here are some details to help prepare you and your family for this:

If Holland Christian Schools has a TWO (2) hour delay school will start at 10:15 AM.
If Holland Christian Schools is closed due to weather there is NO SCHOOL for that given day. Delays and Closings will be posted on major TV networks (Wood TV 8 - WZZM - FOX17).  You will also receive a text message and phone call from the school to inform you of this.  Please check Powerschool to make sure your information is correct to receive this information.

Please remember to use your best judgement when it comes to traveling in the snow as conditions change through out the day and different areas in Holland can also have different weather. If there is school but you feel that it is in your best interest to stay home please feel free to stay home. Either email me or contact the office to let us know not to plan on you that day.

Sing - Move - and Memorize

During the week of January 8 K-5 students will meeting in the small gym for a brief time of learning scripture together. Mrs. Winningham (1st Grade Teacher) will be leading us with our monthly Bible passage using a variety of tools to help those words stick in our hearts. 

Here is more information about this time from Mrs. Winningham:

Rose Park has an initiative to help kindergarteners-5th graders hide God’s Word in their hearts for a lifetime. For one week out of each month student will start in the small gym with a 7 minute integrated arts activity designed to help us memorize a Bible passage. We’ll color, dance, sing, learn sign language, and play some instruments. You are welcome to join us from 8:25-8:32am each morning!
