MATTHEW 18 PRINCIPLE WEEKLY HANDBOOK REMINDER
It is a desire of Covenant Christian School that our staff and administration will display Christ-like love and unity and be committed to harmonious relationships with our students, with the home, with the church and with one another. Matthew 18: 15-16 sets forth a principle that transforms CCS into a dynamic force in our community with a loyalty in our school that builds security and edification and where gossip and slander do not exist. During this Christmas season we are grateful for our CCS families and staff who love the Lord and follow His Word in this very important message from Matthew 18Matthew 18:15, 16 "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: If he shall hear thee thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more. That in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established."

AFTER SCHOOL PICK-UP SAFETY REMINDER
For the safety of our students, please park in the parking lot area if you or your student(s) needs to return to the building. Because of the moving traffic in the circle drive, it is unsafe for the students to cross in front of other cars. Thank-you for helping us to keep our students safe.
