| Check the Label |
|
With the colder weather, students are wearing sweaters, sweatshirts, and jackets. Dennis items look alike, please frequently check the label and make sure the item belongs to you. If it does not, please return it to the office and we will return it to the rightful owner. |
| 40 Degree Policy |
Please make sure your child is dressed warmly for the cold weather. If the temperature is above 40 degrees (or feels like 40+), and it is not rainy or muddy, children will go out for recess and carline. Jackets, sweaters, hats, and gloves should all be marked with your student's name. |
| Mom's In Touch |
Parents are invited to meet on Wednesdays from 8:15-9:00 a.m. in the Chapel. We will be praying for our children as well as CDS teachers and staff. For more information, please contact Anne Frey at 737-7115. |
| Kroger Cards |
Did you know you can buy your groceries and CDS will get a portion of the sale? Purchase a Kroger card in the school office for $5.00. It is already loaded with $5.00, so it doesn't actually cost you anything. At Kroger, load the Kroger card with whatever amount you choose. The cashier will then scan your groceries and you will pay with your Kroger Card. It's that easy and you are not spending any money that you would not have already spent. Every time CDS spends $5,000, Kroger will cut us a check for 5%! |
| Refer a Friend |
Registration for the 2010-11 school year has opened to the general public. Make sure you tell your friends, family, co-worker, etc. who are looking for affordable Christian education about CDS. For every new student who is accepted and attends CDS based on your referral, your family will receive $300 towards your CDS tuition. Referral forms and additional registration packets are available in the school office. |
