News from the Principal

March / April 2013

It is hard to believe it is time to start planning and registering for our 2013-2014 school term.  Soon we will begin registration for our 41st school year.  Parents, by March 4, you should have received your registration packet for next school year and for our Summer Adventures program.  If you have not received registration information, please call our school office at 851-6292, and we will be happy to mail you a packet.  I would like to remind you that all students who are returning to Gloria Dei next school year need to re-register, as this is a yearly process.  

 

Registration for current school students and our congregation members begins on Saturday, March 9.  Open registration begins on Monday, March 18.  If your child currently attends and you plan for your child to return next year, I strongly encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to register during the week of March 9 - 15 to reserve placement for your child.  For some programs and grade levels space is limited and classes may fill.  This year we are offering a registration fee discount for parents taking advantage of this early registration opportunity. If current students register by 6:00 p.m., March 15, the registration fee will be $50.00 per child instead of $85.00.

 

Our programs have expanded over the past several years so that we are now able to offer school programs for students two-years of age through middle school.  Our middle school and toddler programs have been well received and a successful endeavor.  We are most appreciative of the support our parents have given as we have implemented these additional school levels.  

 

Each year’s program builds a foundation to enable students to grow with sequential skill development to the next grade level.  As a child moves from one grade level to another, the programs expand to offer a broader base of activities and enriching experiences.

 

Children, who will be two-years-old by December 2013, will be able to enroll for a full-day program beginning with our summer program.  At this time, we will not be accepting half-day or hourly students, but only those who need a full-day school and child care schedule. 

 

At the preschool level, we offer half-day school programs with the option of hourly or full-time childcare before and/or after school if needed.  Parents have a choice of the two-day, (TTH), three-day, (MWF), or five-day programs.  Preschoolers enjoy weekly themed units, art, children’s literature, learning games, music, chapel and library.  Preschoolers do need to be potty-trained to attend.

 

Students moving from preschool to prekindergarten experience pre-reading activities with Handwriting Without Tears, Word - a language development program, Mortimer Moose - an alphabet and beginning phonics program, and Handwriting Without Tears Math. Along with many classroom activities, children enjoy weekly P.E., music, Chapel, and library.  Every other week, prekindergarten students learn about nutrition with Chef Combo, visit the computer lab to work with educational software, and participate in a hands-on science experience in their science class.  We now offer full-day or half-day prekindergarten programs as options for parents.

               

Students at the kindergarten level also have the choice of a half-day or full-day program.  We are one of the few schools on the Peninsula who offer a half-day program.  All kindergarten classes are taught reading with a phonetic program, Beginning to Read, Write and Listen by Macmillan/McGraw-Hill.  What an exciting time when your kindergartener reads to you for the first time.  Students enjoy the weekly resource classes they participated in for prekindergarten with science and computers becoming weekly classes. Students in the full-day classes will also have a weekly Spanish program.

               

Our first – fifth grade levels are located at our Harris Creek Campus.  This campus has all the essentials needed for our students - computer lab, library, art/music room, science room, P.E. area, playground, infirmary, and offices.  The grades’ program builds strong academic skills in phonetics and reading  comprehension, spelling, math, and writing while offering an enriching resource schedule -  weekly art classes, extended computer time, P.E., Spanish, along with weekly Chapel services, daily devotions, library, music, chorus, and science lab.

 

Our middle school is also located at our Harris Creek Campus.  We continue with our strong tradition of academic excellence in a Christian environment with an emphasis on the mental, spiritual, physical, emotional, and social needs of students.  Students will change classes for the core subjects of literature, grammar, composition, math, science, and social studies.  In addition, a well-rounded program of resources/electives will provide enrichment.  Tentative resources, depending on grade level, include health, study skills, conflict resolution, book study, P.E. – basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, rock climbing, skating, bowling, dodge ball, soccer, art – drawing, painting, scrapbooking, public speaking, computers, Lego Robotics, Stop Motion Animation, woodworking, Chapel, library, music – handbells and choral, and MORE. Spanish, Geometry, and Algebra are offered for transfer as high school credits. For after-school athletics, students may join our soccer and/or cross country team.  

 

It is amazing what our students can accomplish with a strong academic curriculum, enriching resource classes, a spiritual foundation which reinforces values and morals, and a nurturing, caring environment.

               

This is an abbreviated summary of what is offered for our students as they progress from one level to the next.  As you prepare to register for next year, if you have questions about our curriculum or would like additional information, please contact me at 757-851-6292 or lrobinson@gloriadei.net, and I will be glad to talk with you.  We are excited and appreciative of the opportunity to work in partnership with you in educating your child. 

 

God bless,

Linda K. Robinson

 

January / February 2013

 

Happy New Year!  I hope this finds you well and healthy.  Teachers and students, refreshed from Christmas break, returned to school on January 2nd eager to visit with friends and to continue with familiar routines and schedules. 

We begin our New Year with the addition of two new staff members.  We welcome Mrs. Andrea White and Dr. Phyllis Milton to our Gloria Dei Church and School family. 

Mrs. White will be filling the Associate Music Director position formerly held by Mrs. Madott.  Among her many responsibilities, she will be teaching the grades music program at Harris Creek, leading the Cherub Choir, assisting Dr. Sunderland with The Master’s Singers and Chorister Choir, and directing music during chapels.  

 

Dr. Milton, also known as Dr. Phyl, will join our team part-time as our Vicar to aide and assist Pastor Bang.   Dr. Phyl will be at Gloria Dei School on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  She will assist Pastor Bang with chapels and in his absence conduct chapel.  She will also be available to work with school families to help with pastoral concerns and needs.

 

We are excited to have both of these talented and gifted ladies join our staff.  As you meet them, please welcome them to Gloria Dei.

Our December, Barnes and Noble Day was a tremendous success.  Thank you to all the staff members, students, and parents who participated and made the day so festive.  We were able to earn $2,434 for our school.  We also collected 45 items (books, DVD’s, etc.) to be donated to CHKD.  

 

As we look ahead to our New Year, we often reflect on the blessings and gifts that we have been given.  I want to thank you for the trust you have placed in the faculty and staff of Gloria Dei Lutheran School.  Your children are truly a blessing, and we cherish the opportunity you give us to work, in partnership with you, in the teaching, nurturing, and caring of your child.  Together we can make a positive impact and difference in the lives of our children.

 

God Bless,

Linda K. Robinson

 

December 2012 

 

The last several weeks have been filled with activities for our students and families.  A special thanks to all our parents who have helped - from chaperoning field trips, helping with our Book Fair, providing snacks for the soccer team, assisting with the coaching of sports activities, participating in various fundraising endeavors, aiding with class parties, etc., we appreciate your support and partnership.

 

We just ended our Classic Cookie sale, and we what an awesome response.  Thanks to your support and participation, we were able to earn over $12,000 for our school.

 

Be sure to mark your calendar for Saturday, December 8, our third annual Barnes and Noble Day.  From 10:00 am until 6:00 pm, there will be Christmas events and activities for our students.  A schedule with more details will be coming home.  New for this year, we will be having a Lego contest for first – eighth grades, and to help others, we are sponsoring a donation drive for CHKD.  While at Barnes and Noble, if you purchase books, stuffed animals, toys, DVD’s etc., mention Gloria Dei at the register, and we receive a portion of the sale.  Then place your items in the collection baskets, and they will be donated to CHKD.  This is a great time to work on that Christmas list, enjoy activities with your child, and help our school.

 

As we move into December, the sounds of Christmas are already echoing through our hallways as students prepare for their Christmas programs.  Through songs, carols, and plays/programs, our students are learning the story of Jesus’ birth.  They are also sharing this message with family and friends. Please note the Christmas program schedule in our Newsletter, and mark your calendars, so you won’t miss this special time.

 

Santa is busy getting ready for his workshop which will be held at the Fox Hill Campus.  Students in our two-year-old through kindergarten programs will visit with Santa, decorate a Christmas cookie, tour the magical wonderland, and listen as Mrs. Claus reads a Christmas story.

But remember, this is a Christmas surprise, so SHH!!!

 

Again this year, the middle school students will be sponsoring a Snowflake Shop.  On December 14th, kindergarten – fifth grade students will have an opportunity to shop for family and friends. Gifts will range from $1.00 - $5.00.  More information will be coming home for this event also.    Then we will be together for all school Chapel on Wednesday, December 19, at 9:00, our last school day before Christmas break.   

 

Remember you are always welcome to worship with us at Gloria Dei.  We have three services on Christmas Eve – 5:00 pm, 7:00 pm, and 11:00 pm.  The 5:00 pm service is especially designed for families with young children.  Please join us if you are able. 

 

May your Christmas be filled with peace, joy, and family time together.     

 

God Bless,

Linda K. Robinson

November 2012

 

Many of you may be familiar with John Rosemond, a family psychologist, who is the Director of The Center for Affirmative Parenting.  This center is a national resource that provides workshops and materials for parents and professionals who work with children and families.  In addition to the parenting workshops that John Rosemond provides, he has written many books and columns that offer practical advice for raising children.

I would like to share the following article which has appeared on his website.  It offers valuable advice which may be helpful to all who work with children.  I encourage parents, teachers, grandparents, and everyone who helps mentor children to visit his website www.rosemond.com for additional parenting guidance.  

God Bless, Linda K. Robinson

Living with Children
As this school year began, several teachers asked if I would reprint a column that first appeared about ten years ago. The subject is my five top back-to-school tips for parents.
Before you read, be informed that when I use the term ``best students,'' I am not necessarily referring to those children who make the best grades. Rather, I mean those students who come to school prepared to pay attention, accept assignment and do their best, whatever their best may be. Here, then, are those tips:

1.      Make it clear to your child that disobedience is not an option. Teachers consistently report that the best students are almost always among the most well behaved. Good behavior begins in the home, not at school and not even the best teacher can discipline a child who comes from home not already respectful of adult authority. Make the rules of proper behavior clear to your child, and when the rules are broken, enforce with a firm, even hand. New research finds that a child’s level of self-control is positively associated with school achievement.

2.      Assign your child a fair share of day-to-day housework. Again, teachers tell me that the best students are usually those who have daily chores at home. It makes sense, doesn't it, that a child who comes to school already accustomed to accepting adult assignment will have fewer problems accepting assignment from teachers? The more responsible a child is within his or her family, the more responsibility the child will demonstrate at school.

3.      Limit electronic entertainment to nonschool days only, and even then allow no more than five total hours per week. The research is increasingly unequivocal: screen time of any sort decreases attention span. Learning from a real-life, flesh-and-blood teacher requires being ready to ask questions, being ready to answer questions, memorizing, conducting independent inquiry, transferring what you've learned to paper, listening to the teacher's feedback concerning your work and correcting your mistakes. As for television alone, a researcher once found that truly gifted children tended to watch no more than five hours of television a week. The national average is 25 hours per week per child, which is simply to say if you want your child to be average, let him watch a lot of television

4.      Be always interested in what and how your child is doing in school, but take care not to get involved in doing his work for him. There is a difference between interest and involvement. The interested parent says to the child, in effect, ``I am concerned about your education, but it is ultimately your responsibility.'' The involved parent says, ``Your education is my responsibility.'' Unfortunately, too many well-intentioned parents have unwittingly accepted/appropriated responsibility for their children's school work. The result of this parental benevolence is a child who has difficulty taking the proverbial bull by the horns. New research supports this low-involvement parenting model.

5.      If and when your child's teacher reports a problem, give the teacher - not your child! - the benefit of the doubt. As a rule, teachers are more committed to bettering the welfare of children than any other class of professional. When a teacher says your child has a problem, academic or behavioral, it is with your child's best interest in mind. Curb the tendency to become defensive and listen with an open mind and an open heart. You may learn something that will help you become a better parent.

July / August 2012

One of the exceptional highlights of our spring was our School Carnival.  Considering that the night before a tornado swept through Hampton, we were blessed with beautiful weather and wonderful attendance for the day.  I think everyone enjoyed themselves and had fun while raising money for our school. I would like to extend a special thank you to the many staff members, parents, grandparents, and students who helped with the event.  Your help and assistance with planning, donation of items for the silent auction, donation of baked goods, set-up, running of games/activities, and clean-up were instrumental in the success.  We couldn’t have done it without the positive responses to our needs. We have already set our date for next year’s carnival, so mark your calendars for Saturday, June 1, 2013.  If you have any input you would like to provide for our planning for next year, please email me at lrobinson@gloriadei.net.
