Middle School

Our theme for the 2009-2010 school year is “Mirroring Our Maker”. 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. Ephesians 4:22-24 tells us to put off our old self and be made new in the attitude of our minds – put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

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. 1st quarter progress reports were available Oct. 9. 2nd quarter progress reports will be available the week of Dec. 16. 3rd quarter progress reports will be available the week of March 5. 4th quarter progress reports will be available the week of May 12.

Report Cards

At the end of each quarter (Nov. 6, Jan. 29, Apr. 2, June 16), 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.

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.
