WEDNESDAY WORD
Volume 52, Issue 31 ATONEMENT LUTHERAN SCHOOL April 22, 2020 www.alcs.org
2019-20 Theme
Principal’s Notes:
Dear All, On Monday, April 13, Governor Edwards ordered Louisiana Public Schools to remained closed through the end of the 2019-20 term. Normally it is ALS policy is to follow the lead of the Jefferson Parish Public School System. In our Board of Christian Education meeting, Monday, April 13, we have decided to monitor the situation for any possible resumption of direct in-school instruction prior to the end of the 2019-20 term. I hope to have a decision to announce before this week is out. As I stated last week, all depends of course on whether the governor terminates the shelter in place order currently in effect. Secondly, we would want to make certain that it is safe to resume normal operations with respect to COVID 19 health concerns. If these conditions can’t be satisfied, then ALS would continue
with the current distance learning online program per current status. We will keep you informed of out status. In our Lord's service, Mr. Molin Principal [email protected]
Coronavirus Response
• Our plan currently is to proceed with Grade 8 Graduation on May 16 at
2:00 pm. However, if that needs to be adjusted we will keep you posted.
• PS students need to continue with Class Tag and Kindergarten-Grade 8
with google classroom. K-Gr. 8 will have assignments that are being
corrected and graded as school remains in session though in a distance
learning format.
• Faculty has two meetings per week on Tuesdays/Thursdays via Zoom.
• Tuition/fee/tithes/offerings can be paid online. However, if that doesn’t
seem to be a viable option for you, please contact [email protected],

• MUSCIAL “SOUND OF MUSIC” RESCHEDULE

Sycamore system. Our faculty is doing everything in its power with this
situation to prepare students to move to the next grade level for 2020-21.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by life? Have you found yourself wondering where is God in the midst of all the pain, chaos, and uncertainty of your life? Then I invite you to join us for this weeks Bible Study, Greater Than. This is a study that was put together by Francis Chan, where he will help us, walking through his own difficult childhood, to understand that God is greater than any pain, sin, or hardship that we may encounter in life. We will meet together at 1pm Monday thru Friday afternoon this week (April 20-24), to discuss this concept together, to dive into God's Word, and to care for one another out of Christian brotherly/sisterly love. You will be able to join us through Zoom and you can find the login information at the end of this email. This is a great way to take a break in the middle of your day, and to spend some time with God and with others, and to grow in your peace, understanding, and faith. Hope to see you there!
