As we prepare for our Parent-Teacher Conferences, I am reminded of the honor that we have at Oakland Christian School to instruct and to guide our students. Our students are vibrant and spirited and we continue to observe growth and positive energy. We also recognize that continued progress and growth must include an intentional partnership with the parents and the teachers. Use the planned conferences to communicate and connect with the teachers. Please feel free to email teachers when you have questions or concerns. Most importantly, pray for your teachers and your children that God would bless them in their learning process.

 

Colossians 4: 2

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of God.

Roger VanDorp
Interim Superintendent
