Have a Wonderful Summer!

 Below you will find the supply list for the 2025-2026 school year.  

I pray you have a blessed summer full of everything you love!  See you soon!

Things are getting busy...

 

May 12-16

CLICK HERE FOR FINAL COUNTDOWN!

This week there will be spelling/vocabulary tests for 7-10 grades.  I will give out the word and definitions on Monday.  You may take your test on Thursday or Friday. Everyone is given the choice this week.

All classes will have a grammar test on Wednesday of this week.  If you choose to use your calendar fundraiser excuse, that is fine!

Next week, you will have your final spelling/vocabulary test, and there will be a Literature/Grammar Final.  I will give the study notes for the English final this week, and you are free to schedule a time to take it between Tuesday, May 13 and Wednesday, May 21.  I will allow this flexibility to help you manage your time and coordinate the dates with your other class work. 

High School Students (grades 9-11) are not exempt from the grammar/literature final.

Middle School Students (grades 7-8) are exempt from the Grammar Final IF you meet the following criteria:

• You have an A average 
• You have a B average and have missed less than 5 days of school this year.  If you meet this critera but would like to take the test to try and improve your grade, you can do that.  

Have a Great Weekend!

 Have a wonderful time at the formal tonight!  I am excited to see you all.

This is just a reminder that any student who exceeds 10 absences during the school year will be subject to the attendance policies of New Life Christian Academy as well as the regulations established by West Virginia state law. As a private institution, NLCA upholds both our internal standards and complies fully with state-mandated requirements regarding school attendance. Excessive absences must be reported to the appropriate authorities, and further action may be taken in accordance with both school policy and legal obligations.
