All work should stay at home unless there is a note on the assignment, or if you have a question. Thanks!

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns!
Have a wonderful week!

Welcome back to school! I pray you had a wonderful and refreshing summer vacation. I am very excited for a great school year! I look forward to working together with each of you as your child grows academically, physically, and spiritually at Apostles. We are glad to welcome two new students to our class this year, as well as all the returning students! May God bless us with many fun-filled, enriching days.

This week in school we will be getting an introduction to the various subjects. We will be reviewing material previously learned and getting our minds ready for new things. School and classroom rules will be reviewed daily. I am confident that the Lord will bless our time together.

Notes will be coming home on Mondays. Please be sure to ask your child to share these notes! Please look for the following notes this week:
• Weekly note
• 5th grade classroom schedule
• School singing schedule
• Memory Treasure calendar (sent home monthly)
• Spelling list (sent home weekly)
• Hot lunch note
• Milk Slip
• Piano Lesson note (for piano students)
• Flag Football note (for boys)

If you have not already done so, please visit the Apostles website and
sign up for the E-news. This e-mail is sent out on a weekly basis. You may also want to check Mr. Luehring’s blog for information concerning various school items.

This Friday at 1:30 PM our new instrumental instructor, Mr. Chris Reid, will be coming to demonstrate instruments for all students in grades 3-8. Parents are welcome to attend the presentation as well. Information and enrollment forms will then be sent home with the students.

Please feel free to stop by or call with any questions or concerns you may have. You can reach me at school at 578-4800 ext.213, or by email at jtjernagel@apostlessj.org. I look forward to a great year filled with the Lord’s blessings!

Have a blessed first week of school!
Miss Tjernagel
