Parent Orientations
August 14 and 15
August 14th is for parents who have enrolled their students for M/W. August 15th is for parents who have enrolled their students for T/Th. During the orientation, the parents will follow their student’s schedule. The orientation will be the same on both days. During the Orientations the teachers will present an overview of their course, their procedures and expectations. Seventh and Eighth grade teachers may ask for supplies directly relating to their classes. It is important that at least one parent attend the Orientation for each student. Students do not attend the orientations because of space limitations in the classrooms.

We would love to invite you and the student enrolled to the New Family Fellowship on August 3rd, 1-3pm. Don’t forget to bring your favorite finger food. We will be gathering in the auditorium.

Students in the Spotlight
Along with their parents, Flower Mound Coram Deo Academy students Joshua (7th grade), Jacob (5th grade), and Jonathan (2nd grade) recently returned from a mission trip to work in a children's camp near Tver, Russia. As guests of Moscow Bible Church, the McAlisters served as emissaries of Christ for a week in the camp. The American team assisted the camp staff with over sixty 7-12 years olds. The McAlisters arrived back exhausted after the long flight back from Moscow, but enriched, engaged, and enabled to share with family and friends about this life changing experience serving Christ on the other side of the world.
The Bowen family will be performing in The Actors Conservatory Theatre in the classic story of "Pinocchio" for one more weekend! Congratulations for a job well done.
If you have been on a mission trip this summer, performing in an event, or enjoying the talents God provided you in a way that could benefit others, please send me the information so I can spotlight your accomplishments too.
