October 1, 2021 SECA SPIRIT WEEK AND NFL DAY Dear Parent, October 12th- 15th is Spirit Week. Spirit Week is a week of the school year that we encourage students to show their school spirit. Tuesday will be Camp or VBS T-shirt day, Wednesday will be Hat day, Thursday will be Mismatch day, and Friday will be NFL Day. No pajamas will be allowed and regular modesty dress code still applies on dress down days. For NFL day students are asked to bring a snack and a drink to share because we will be having a party beginning at 11:15 and activities in the afternoon that will follow. Children should still bring a lunch as the food provided will only be snacks. Gym class will continue as normal for Tuesday, but it will be canceled on Friday 10/15. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Kevin Rickner. Thank you for your support! In Christ, Pastor Krohn JK/bc Tuesday- Camp/VBS t-shirt Day Wednesday- Hat Day Thursday- Mismatch Day Friday- NFL Day

September 8, 2021 COVID 19 WAIVER Dear Parent, After consultation with our attorney, it has been recommended to us that we have all teachers and all parents with children in the school sign a waiver regarding COVID 19 (attached in separate email). Please mark the box on your decision regarding masks for your children and have them sent in. In Christ, Pastor Krohn JK/bc

September 8, 2021 CELL PHONE POLICY UPDATE Dear Parent, The following outlines SECA’s cell phone policy. Students are allowed to bring a cell phone to school and use it during the lunch period, before, and after school. All other times a student’s phone must be in their personal locker or backpack. Violation 1 of this rule will result in confiscation for the day, and the phone will be given back at 2:45 pm before dismissal. Violation 2 of this rule will result in confiscation until a parent contacts me. This is to make sure that they are aware of the issue and the consequences of another violation. This may lead to a cell phone being kept overnight. Violation 3 of this rule will result in no cell phone use for the rest of the year. If they still needed to bring a phone on campus, they would have to turn it in at the start of the day and get it back at the end of the day. In all violations, the student also gets a character essay. Thank you so much for your cooperation. In Christ, Pastor Krohn JK/bc

These include Pizza, Hot Pockets, Mac and Cheese, and more. Each meal is $1.50. The money can be sent into school in the student’s folder and will be collected early in the mornings.
