Hello parents, Because we have no school this Friday 4/15, we are allowing the students to wear their gym clothes all day on Thursday 4/14. The normal rules are still in effect, meaning only students who have not received 5 or more character essays last quarter or this quarter are eligible. Have a great Resurrection Sunday and Spring Break! In Christ, Kevin Rickner

March 22, 2022 Dear Parent, On Friday March 25, SECA will be having school pictures done. We are happy to have Andrew Martineau taking pictures this year. SECA is requiring all the students and staff, including extension students and parents, to have their pictures taken, so the yearbook will be uniform. Normally the students are allowed to come in their gym uniforms on Fridays; however we recommend having them bring their uniforms like they do on a Tuesday. The pictures will be taken from 9:30-2:45. Please have your child present that day. SECA will be selling digital photos for $5. Please fill out the form below and return it to the school. Thank you for your cooperation. In Christ, Kevin Rickner KAR/bac I would like to purchase the digital copy of my child’s photo. I have included the $5 needed.

January 28, 2022 SECA REVIVAL WEEK Dear Parent, Next week, January 31st – February 4th, is SECA Revival Week. Families are invited to come in for the preaching on any or all of the days.

January 26, 2022 SECA Character Essay Escalation Process Dear Parent, We are sending a reminder of the character essay escalation process since the 2nd quarter has ended. Because character essays are accumulated by semester, those students who had four or fewer character essays last semester will be eligible to wear gym clothes all day on Fridays, a free 100 test score in the subject of their choice, and a reward activity at the school. Those who had five or more character essays last semester will not be allowed to participate in gym clothes Fridays until they have met the requirement of four or fewer character essays in one quarter. This means that those who lost their gym clothes Fridays privilege last semester will be allowed to have them back if, in the third quarter, they receive four or fewer character essays. Once a student has received eight character essays in a semester, they will have a one day in-school suspension. For character essays 8–11, the parents will be notified each time, but there will be no more additional actions until the 12th character essay. The 12th will result in a one day in-home suspension. Please take note that expulsion from the school can happen at any time during this process through talks with the parents and the principal. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Kevin Rickner. Thank you for your support. In Christ, Pastor Krohn JK/bc
