SEPTEMBER ESLR: This month’s ESLR is “Independent Thinkers”. Independent thinkers are students who demonstrate the ability to seek, research, analyze, and compile data using critical thinking skills drawing from a distinctively Christian worldview. (Acts 17:11) “…they searched the Scriptures, day after day to check up on Paul and Silas, to see if they were really teaching the truth.”
DAILY PORTION: Calvary Chapel Downey invites you to join us as we follow the Daily Portion Bible Reading Plan. When we read our bibles most days of the week, even for a short period of time, we open ourselves up to the opportunity of the Scripture’s transformative power in many areas of our lives.
This week’s Daily Portion:
9/8/26: Proverbs 11-12……..Luke 3
9/9/26: Proverbs 13-14……..Luke 4
9/10/26: Proverbs 15-16…....Luke 5

PATRIOT’S DAY OBSERVANCE: In honor of Patriots’ Day, students may wear the colors of the American flag (red, white, and blue) with uniform bottoms on Friday, September 11. This national day is in remembrance of those fallen in the September 11 terrorist attacks.
PROGRESS REPORTS: End of the Grading Period is Friday, September 11. Remember, you can daily check your student’s progress by logging on to your parent portal. Any student who is currently earning below a C- will receive a hard copy progress report requiring a parent signature.
HELP US KEEP OUR CAMPUS HEALTHY! To keep our students and staff healthy, we’d like to remind all our families of some simple policies to help you in deciding whether your child is healthy enough to attend school.
Students must be symptom-free (no fever, vomiting or diarrhea), without the help of medication, for 24 hours before returning to school.
TOYS AND SQUISHES POLICY: There has been an influx of students bringing toys, specifically sensory (squishy) toys to school. As a reminder, toys in general are not allowed on campus. These toys have also proven to serve as distractions and reasons for disagreements. They are also a hazard if they were to rupture, as there have been reports of thermal and chemical burns, if they rupture during use. We would like to inform all students and families that NeeDoh cubes and similar sensory "squishy” toys are not allowed at school.
Students with specific needs of sensory toys, used for calming and/or concentrating in class, may get individual permission from administration, following parental communication.
PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Our school could benefit from the help of some parent volunteers. Tasks include tearing out and sorting student workbook pages, grading spelling tests on Fridays, and assisting with other various needs. If interested, please contact Mrs. Fernandez at sfernandez@calvarydowney.org for further information.
