Middle School

 

Our theme for the 2007-2008 school year is “Christians in Action.”  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 for them to be "Christians in Action" in whatever place and career He may lead them. Teaching students to gain knowledge, be discerning, and serve others will only enhance their chances of making an eternal difference for God – wherever they find themselves. Philippians 1:9-11 challenges us to "grow in knowledge and insight - so that we may be able to discern what is best... and be filled with the fruit of righteousness (service) that comes through Jesus" - all to the glory and praise of God!

MIDDLE SCHOOL vs JUNIOR HIGH
What's the difference?
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
Mid-Quarter Progress Reports were mailed to SOME students on Friday, May 9. These were for students who have a C- or lower... and/or if teachers want to communicate additional information to parents/students. You may also request a progress report and one will be prepared. ALL STAFF have the option of preparing individual, electronic grade reports for your child - from their gradebooks. If you have any questions, please contact us at the MS office (909.983.1671). Progress reports need to be signed and returned as soon as possible. Feel free to make comments and/or request further communication!

Al Menconi was here on Thursday, March 6. Middle Schoolers had an assembly (Albers Chapel) at 11 AM. That evening (7 PM - Albers Chapel) many parents attended the Parent Meeting/Seminar. Most of the MS "signed up" to take the FREE full tilt challenge - follow this link: http://www.almenconi.com/ftmc.php.  This is a free 30 day devotional that will be delivered to your email daily for 30 days.  Al Menconi does not use the email addresses for anything else and it isn’t a gimmick to sell stuff. It is designed to help parents and leaders understand the influence of the entertainment media on families as well as giving them the knowledge and skill to win the spiritual war for their families.

Recently we have had students ask us about The Golden Compass, a movie soon to be released in theaters. Before you take your son or daughter to see this movie, consider reading the following articles on-line that discuss the author of the book's intent in the story, especially in regards to Christianity.
