STUDENT SUPPLIES

Students are given a list of supplies which they will need for their specific grade level.  Please purchase only the required items in the specified sizes.  Students must handle textbooks and library books carefully.  Failure to do so could result in a book fine.

MEDICINE

If you want your child to take any medication during the school day, send a note along with him/her.  Cough drops may not be considered medication, but to prevent them from being used simply as candy, we ask that you send a note if you are sending cough drops with your child.

SCHOOL CLOSINGS

The KIJV and KOKK radio stations and KSFY and KELO television stations will carry the news if JVC is closed due to inclement weather.

SCHOOL VISITORS

All school visitors during the school day must check in at the school office with either the secretary or principal.  Visitors may not visit students while they are in class.  Parental consent, either by telephone or note must be given the principal before any outside visitor may remove a student from the school.

Parental visitation at school is welcome, but prior arrangements with the principal and teacher must be made.  If you wish to visit school, please contact the office preferably a day in advance so the class isn't planning activities away from school.  When visiting, report to the office before going to the class.

Parents who plan to eat lunch with their child need to notify the school the day before they visit.

SCHOOL HOURS

School will begin at 8:15 a.m. and dismiss at 3:30 p.m.  Playground supervision will not begin before 7:55 so adjust your driving time accordingly.  There will be no supervision for children arriving before 7:55 unless prior arrangements have been made.  

HOMEWORK

James Valley Christian School seeks to be sensitive to the family and to church activities.  While we have an obligation to the home to help train each student and make him/her academically fit to advance to the next level of training, we try not to unnecessarily interfere with home activities.   Students in the primary grades should expect to spend time at home for daily reading practice as well as preparing for weekly spelling tests, and occasional other tests.  Upper grade students can expect to have some homework as well as taking time to prepare for tests.  Book reports and special projects will also be assigned occasionally.  If your child consistently has an excessive amount of homework you may find it helpful to check with the teacher.

MESSAGES

Many times communication with the home is made via special notes, letters, calendars, and receipts sent along with the student's take home papers.  In order to keep informed of activities and your children's progress in their daily class work make it a point to ask for their papers and/or check their schoolbags.
