If you were unable to make it to the Teacher Conference Day, Saturday January 25, 2020, be sure to contact your reviewer to set up a mid year review. If you are having trouble scheduling a mid year review please contact the FSP Office. Anyone who is being reviewed by Janet Segui will be having their mid-year review a bit later due to family commitments right now for Janet.
On Thursday, October 10, 7pm in the Edwards Room here at Covenant Life Church, we will be gathering to discuss some great strategies for putting together an Activities Resume for your student. This is targeted at high school students preparing for college application but middle school families can also benefit from this workshop. The earlier you start the more complete your Activities Resume will be. We hope to see lots of you there!
Just a reminder that our very important picnic/meeting is scheduled for this Sunday, September 15, 4pm-7pm for all seniors and their parents to attend (no siblings, please). We will be meeting at the Tates’ home, 9021 Harris Street, Frederick, MD 21704. Right now, only 3 families are signed up to attend…..we really need all families in attendance. Also, we’ll be having a taco meal, and everybody will need to bring something. (As of now, we’ll only be eating beans with cheese, and chips with salsa.) Please see this SignUpGenius link to RSVP and choose your contribution slot: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0A4EAEA82E5-fspsenior PLEASE RVSP to let us know if you will be attending the picnic/meeting and what you will be bringing.

If you need some help understanding how to access and enter your student info into our Google Drive folders, we are happy to assist you. We didn’t have enough families able to come out to the scheduled training night. We will be trying to meet with anyone who wants help with the Google Drive folders so we can help them one on one. If that is you, please contact us to set up a time to come to the FSP office and work with one of us to help you feel more comfortable with the file system. Contact us at csmith@covlife.org or jsegui@covlife.org to let us know you would like to set up an appointment.
The Covenant Life School has organized some fun and interesting summer camps for all ages. They are offering history, theatre, art, gymnastics for preschoolers, STEM, Karate, and various sports camps. Check out the camps info here. My favorites are the History Camp and the Theatre Camps but I’m sure you will find many your students will enjoy among these options.
You will be hearing from your reviewers soon, if you haven’t already, to schedule your end of year review. Your reviewer will want to see some samples of your student’s work and progress this year. Be sure to print out the grade reports from any online classes your students have taken or any tutorial type class. Have samples of writing, tests from Math and Science, and projects your student has completed ready for your reviewer to see. We want you to feel cared for and not just reviewed so be sure to talk to your reviewer about any issues you are having relating to home schooling. We have wonderful reviewers who have a wealth of knowledge to share. If you don’t hear from your reviewer soon please feel free to reach out to us at the FSP office or to your reviewer. Final reviews and grades should be completed by June 30.

We are having our annual FSP Showcase on Tuesday, April 16, 2019 from 6pm to 9pm. We have lots of demonstrations and displays that will celebrate all the work our FSP homeschool students have accomplished this year. We ask all FSP families to participate by signing up to display your student’s projects and/or work. Students may display a project board, art work, writing pieces and/or anything else they want to show off here at the end of the year. Some students may want to present as their displays. Science demos, history re-enacting/costuming and art demos are some options we would love to see. Our SOAR co-op will be offering presentations all evening in the Edwards but we would love to have other students offering presentations in the display area also. Here is a link to the sign up form. Each student must complete this form so we can prepare enough display area. We are looking forward to seeing all your hard work be celebrated!
