 FROM THE WORD

Luke 2:1-14

1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.

 4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
TEAM MEETING

 
The School Improvement Team (SIT) has been formed and met for an orientation meeting on December 7.  The team is comprised of representatives from our staff, teachers, parents and students.  The Accreditation Agency has established a set of Standards which it requires a school to follow in order to be considered for accreditation.  SIT will meet to create an internal School Self-Assessment based on how the school is currently following the Standards.  The second function of the SIT will be to meet at regular intervals to make ongoing evaluations of the school as well as to make recommendations for the school's improvement in relation to the Standards. In April of 2011, the Accreditation Agency will visit FCA to perform an on-sight evaluation based on the conclusions of the SIT's internal Self-Assessment.
