Monday, April 6 Updates

Tomorrow is Picture Day
Tomorrow is Spring picture day. The photo company takes the photos at no charge, and families are given the opportunity to purchase them afterward. There is no obligation to purchase anything, but it is a unique opportunity for additional photos.

Chapel This Week
At Immanuel we have traditionally had chapel every day during Holy Week, and that tradition continues this week. Each morning at 8:50 Pastor Grohs and some assisting students will lead a 10-15 minute chapel service.

ITBS..What's That?
Next week, starting Monday, we will be taking the ITBS, better known as the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills. These are your standard fill-in-the-bubble achievement tests. Students take these in the even numbered grades here at Immanuel, so students last took them in second grade. There isn't anything to do to prepare for them other than get plenty of rest and eat a good breakfast. We won't do all of them in one day. We won't even block out big chunks of time. Instead, we'll take an hour here, 40 minutes there, and plug away at them over the course of the entire week.

Report Cards
Third Quarter Report Cards are coming home on Thursday. Keep an eye out for that envelope.

And Finally...
I hope everyone had a great Spring Break full of rest and relaxation, whether you stayed close to home or traveled the world. Everyone seemed to be smiling this morning, so it seems it was a pretty good break. Welcome to the fourth quarter!
