Middle School
Our theme for the 2011-2012 school year is “Growing in  Community”.   Our students belong to God, and all of their time at Ontario Christian, whether they sit in the classroom, are out on the playing field, or are interacting with faculty or friends, is preparation and training for being Christian leaders – in whatever place and career God may lead them. Challenging students to be leaders will only enhance their chances of making an eternal difference for God – wherever they find themselves. Colossians 1:17 - 18a reminds us  that God is before all things, and in Him all things hold together... and He is the Head of the body, the church…
DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Each morning, our students receive daily announcements about upcoming activities. This may include sports news, schedule changes, prayer needs, praise reports... anything they need to know to help them through the day. Feel free to contact our office (909) 983-1671 for more information.

Progress Reports

Midterm reports are available through Edline (online grade book). Students and parents each receive their own username/password so they can stay updated weekly as to the student's progress. These reports are especially important approximately four and a half weeks through each quarter, as they help determine probation/restriction. Parents should examine these reports and make plans for improvement if possible. If parents have a question regarding any grade, they should call the school and ask to have the teacher contact them.

Report Cards

At the end of each quarter (Nov. 4, Feb. 2, Mar. 30, June 13), report cards are printed and distributed to students. It normally takes a weekend and an additional day or two after the quarter to have the report cards ready for distribution. Report Cards (4th quarter) are mailed home after school is out.
