LATE START MONDAY - CANCELLED We have decided to cancel our Late-Start for this coming Monday, September 27th. Our teachers have been working hard and we are at a very good place for our current training and knowledge on educational technology. As we look to see how we can best utilize time, we feel that we would be better stewards by maximizing our instructional time with your children. Therefore, there will be no Late-Start on Monday, September 27th. School will start at our regular time! Thank you for allowing us to use these Late-Starts over the last few years to help our teachers improve our use of educational technology as we seek to en-hance the education of your children.

RIGHTNOW MEDIA We want to remind you that Grace Christian School has purchased access to an extensive video library called RightNow Media. It’s like the “Netflix of Video Bible Studies” and has a HUGE library of faith-based videos and shows for both adults and kids that you can access whenever and wherever you want - on your phone, iPad, computer, or at home on your TV. This is our gift to help you train and disciple your family, and we hope you take advantage of this resource! You will be getting an email in the near future with more information about RightNow Media.
