ParentPulse<\/h1><\/div>

At Evangelical Christian School, we seek to constantly evaluate our school from multiple perspectives, all in an effort to make this an even better place for your child and your family.<\/p>\n

Because the parent perspective is so important to us, we’ve partnered with ParentPulse, a company that specializes in collecting feedback for Christian schools.<\/p>\n

Going forward, each parent in our school will receive an invitation every few months to respond to a short survey. These surveys will be staggered \u2013 parents will receive the invitations via email or text at different times.<\/p>\n

We simply ask that you’d take five minutes to complete the survey. Many schools only send one (longer) survey each year, but we want to capture your thoughts and feelings in shorter surveys \u2013 and at multiple points over the year \u2013 so we can understand how things are evolving and how we can best adapt!<\/p>\n

So, please be on the lookout for an email or text from ParentPulse. The subject line will clearly identify Evangelical Christian School.<\/p>\n

The information you provide is collected solely for our analysis, and your personal contact information will not be used or shared by ParentPulse. There is also an option at the end of the survey to submit your responses anonymously.<\/p>\n

Thank you for partnering with us in Christian education!<\/p>\n

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS<\/h1><\/div>

There are many exciting things going on in high school at ECS! Yesterday, our students had the opportunity to meet and talk with representatives from 35 different Christian colleges. This is always a wonderful experience for our students. Through this event, students get a lot of valuable information and may just end up finding the college they want to attend. We hope students went home and shared at least a snippet of this event. <\/span><\/p>\n

SAY CHEESE!<\/b><\/u><\/div>\n
Seniors had their best smiles on yesterday and every hair in place for their senior yearbook portraits. If a Senior was absent, he\/she needs to mark their calendars for the picture makeup day being held on October 16th.<\/span><\/div>\n

Schoolwide pictures (grades 9-12) will be Monday, September 18th. Students should be in school uniform. Jackets, pullovers and\/or hoodies may not be worn in school pictures. Students should be in code with their hair and our young men should be clean shaven.

The retreat is held at the Lake Placid Camp & Conference Center. It’s a great time of fun and fellowship.
