Cell phone usage after school

Parents,

I want you to be aware of what I have shared with the students and faculty regarding cell phones, ipod, and other electronic devices after school.

I have asked that no cell phones or electronic devices be used by students without permission from a teacher until students have been picked up. 

The reason for this is that students begin texting, sharing music, or calling people when they are to be preparing to go home or do their schoolwork after school.  We have almost no way to monitor the use of these devices if everyone is allowed to use them from 3:00pm on.  Therefore, their use will depend upon when the student leaves for home.

Thanks for understanding!

In Christ,

Julian Petzold

Prayer Requests

Parents,

The faculty and I are committed to praying for you, your children, and your entire family.  We meet each morning during the school year for devotions and prayer time.  Please call or email with any prayer requests that you have throughout the year.  You may contact me or your child's teacher.  We want you to know that we are here to support you as you have need throughout the year.
Also, as I stated in my "Welcome back" letter you recently received, my cell phone number is 248-931-5394 for you to use in emergency situations.
Have a fantastic day, and I hope to see you on Monday for the first day of school and chapel (Chapel starts at 8:30am)
In Christ,

My first post

Parents, Students, and Staff,

This is my first post on a blog of any kind.  I'm proof that we need to continue to learn every day.  I had no idea how to do this yesterday, and I'm off and running with it today.

I believe it is more important for our students be life-long learners in today's world than ever before.  Life-long learning does not have an end to it - except a transfer from earthly life to eternal life.  We all need to continue to learn, grow, improve, stretch, etc. as we go through life.  It is not enough to have mastered the curriculum so you can stop learning.  In a brief time, the world will pass by the person who perscribes to that way of thinking.  I will do my best to maintain an atmosphere of creating life-long learners as students enjoy their time here at Trinity.

I will post information here periodically, not daily.  I want posts to be significant and of importance.  I prefer quality over quantity, and I bet you do too. 

May God richly bless you and your family as we prepare to begin another school year!

In Christ's service,

Julian
