COVID-19 Policies

We are not sure how/when things will get back to “normal” or some semblance of normal. At this time we will only be in the classrooms here at Covenant Life for the Chemistry tutorial class on Wednesday mornings. The SOAR Co-Op has decided to wait to come back together until next school year (2021-22). We will continue to plan activities and meetings for this year. Many may end up virtual but we will still get together when we can. Covenant Life School is moving forward with their sports program and hope to have a full competitive schedule for each team. If you want more info on those teams email Candy at csmith@covlife.org. We are praying this season will be over soon but we can’t predict the future. We are lifting you all up to our Lord for His protection and presence. He is in control of all. Keep checking back here if you are wondering about our COVID-19 policies. We are following all of Governor Hogan’s recommendations and only coming into the office to pick something up or do a quick task. Candy is keeping up with emails from home and continuing to do some office tasks remotely. Please follow...

Schedule Your End of Year Review!

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 have those ready so you can easily show them to your reviewer. Upload to your student’s google folder any grade reports from online classes, 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 me at the FSP office or to your reviewer. Final reviews and grades should be completed by June 30. If you need an exception to that we are happy to work with you.
