The Weekly Knightline September 29 - October 4

STUDENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

School Pictures are IN! Please stop by the office to pick yours up.


Picture Retakes: Tuesday, September 30th 1-2 PM

- If you placed an order and are unhappy with the photo please return the photo order in its

envelope to the office before or by retake day, along with a note explaining the reason for

requesting replacement. The order will be replaced using the new photo taken on retake day.

- If a retake is requested due to something outside of the photographer’s control such as what

the student was wearing on picture day, please include payment for the duplicate order.

- Questions? Send an email to info@vanessabartelsphoto.com


Handwashing is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of illness. We are starting to see

more illness, so please remember to wash your hands often!


Parking Lot: Students please obey traffic laws and be mindful of other drivers as you leave our parking lot. 

Note from Student Council: If you have any ideas, suggestions, feedback, or things you really appreciate about what student council is (or isn’t) doing, please leave a comment by filling out this form! Please keep it respectful and kind. Thank you!


PARENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

HELP NEEDED! We are in need of a few more readers and scorers for our upcoming Unity Quiz Bowl on Saturday, October 4. The meet runs from 8:45 am until about 1:00 pm. If you are

willing to help out as either a reader or a scorer (previous experience is not needed), please email jdegroot@unitychristian.net  


October Menu: The October lunch menu is on EZ School. Please log in and pre-order your October meals. You have until 8:30AM the day of the meal to pre-order.


Knightline Update: with more resources at your fingertips in Blackbaud, the Knightline will now be sent by email the first and last day of school each week. The Knightline is also available on your Resource Board in Blackbaud all the time.


Meat Donations for School Lunch Program: Unity is seeking beef and pork donations from local farmers to support our school lunch program. Unity will cover all processing fees. If you are interested in making a donation, please contact Wayne Dykstra at wdykstra@unitychristian.net


Reminder from the school nurse: As we are entering cold & flu season, please keep your student

home if they have a temp higher than 100 degrees or are vomiting.

● For cough & cold symptoms (flu, COVID, etc), they can return to school when they have been fever-free for 24 hours without use of fever-reducing medications (Tylenol, Motrin, etc) and respiratory symptoms are mild and improving.

● For strep throat, they can return after taking antibiotics for 24 hours if improving.


Snacks for Professional Development Fridays

When our students have 1:30 dismissals on Fridays, our teachers gather together for professional

development. We have been blessed with wonderful snacks for our teachers on these days in recent

years, and we are again seeking volunteers this year. If you are interested and willing to help provide

snacks for around 30 teachers for their professional development time on 1:30 dismissal Fridays, sign

up below!


Attendance: Parents, please remember to send an email to koetken@unitychristian.net or call the Unity office at (712)737-4114 if your student will be late for school, needs to leave school early or will be absent. You will receive attendance-related alerts throughout the day when your student is marked absent. The office will reconcile reasons and attendance toward the end of each day.


Unity Family Tree in Courtyard - We would love to add pictures of our new families at Unity Christian to our family tree located in the Courtyard. We also know some of you have taken new family pictures and would like to update yours on the tree. Please send your family pictures to aobbink@unitychristian.net along with the names of your family members. Thank you!
