HIGH SCHOOL ELECTIVES September 10, 2020 Dear Parent, In addition to the courses taught on the SECA campus, I would HIGHLY recommend that a student take advantage of the classes offered by Commonground Baptist Institute on Sundays. Institute courses along with other college courses count toward the college placement diploma. Except for institute classes, there are no additional fees for a Bible or an elective course, as long as the course is taught in the school and is a part of a student’s graduation requirements. Jennifer Krohn is offering an English writing elective course for the 9th-12th graders. Please write a note in the student folder indicating if they are taking this elective. Students must send in their elective request by Friday, September 18th. Thank you for your support. In Christ, Pastor Krohn JK/bc

The girls must have the official yellow gym shirts and the official navy blue culottes. The boys must have the official navy blue gym shirts and blue jeans or the official SECA windpants. The official windpants, official culottes, and official gym shirts must be bought through the school. Gym uniforms that are no longer in good condition may not be worn for physical education classes. The deadline either to wear official gym uniforms or to have ordered official gym uniforms is Friday, September 18th. Thank you for your support. In Christ, Pastor Krohn JK/bc

September 10, 2020 Pizza and Frozen Food Dear Parent, Students will have the opportunity to buy lunch this year. On Fridays SECA will be ordering pizza from Little Caesar's Pizzeria. It will cost only $1 for one slice of cheese OR pepperoni pizza. Also any day of the week students may send in $1.50 for lunch for a frozen meal from our own stock. 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. Thank you for your support! In Christ, Pastor Krohn JK/bc

September 8, 2020 Student Deathly Allergic to Peanuts Dear Parent, We have a student in the second grade who is deathly allergic to peanuts, and this is not an exaggeration. Karson Rickner cannot be anywhere near peanuts without severe medical treatment. That being said we as a school will have to make some sacrifices this year: 1) If your child is in Miss Rachel’s K-2nd grade classroom, no peanuts will be allowed for snack or lunch. Just don’t send it with your child at all. 2) If your child is a junior boy in the 3rd-6th grade, he can have peanuts for snack, as long as he washes his hands, but not for lunch, seeing as how they will be sharing the lunch table with Karson. 3) If your child does not fit in either of these categories be aware that if you send peanuts of any kind you should inform your child of the drastic measures which must be taken for Karson’s sake. 4) Students should always wash hands after consuming or handling peanuts of any kind. 5) Special party days such as NFL day, Christmas Party, and Field Day, should follow these rules as well and have no peanut butter in any snack. *Common foods that you will have to avoid: Peanuts, Peanut butter, nutty bars, Reese’s(any variation), granola with peanuts, trail mix with peanuts, no bake cookies with peanut butter, Mr. Goodbar, any cereal with peanut butter flavors. As there may be more foods not listed here please read the label and discover if something similar would make it apply in this category. If the label says “made in a facility that processes peanuts” “made with peanut oil” or “may contain peanuts” we will allow it to be sent at the discretion of the parent. Thank You for Your Support, Pastor Jim Krohn JK/bc

Dear Parents, Our teachers have developed a plan for the next coming weeks going forward. Our goal is to give the students some work while not overloading them at this time. Some classes will be happening via video chat but that depends on the class and teacher. Please contact Bethany Cassata (585.645.2721) if you have questions about general information or Geography, other than that please contact your child’s teacher regarding their assignments for each subject. The school will be open for you to come and get your child’s books and belongings on Tuesday from 12-4 and on Friday from 10-3. Please contact Pastor Baker or Bethany Cassata if these times do not work for you. We will keep you updated if things change on a weekly basis. We hope each family stays safe. In Christ, Pastor Baker CAB/bac

Dear Parents, By Monday you should receive a call from your child's teacher(s) letting you know a plan going forward for how to do some work during this time period. We do not want our students to fall behind and each teacher has a different plan for their particular class. The amount of work that is given will be minimal. If your child has left anything at the school building that you would like to get for them, either school work or otherwise, then you may stop by the school today from 12-3 pm. Please contact Bethany 585.645.2721 if you will be stopping by. In Christ, Pastor Curtis Baker CAB/bac
