Back to School Letter

Seminary Students and Parents,

Just a brief note about Seminary this year:

1. Seminary will begin this Wednesday, August 27th.

2. Class meets from 6:15am to 7:00am every school day except for snow and late arrival days. Please be on time. (Note: Seminary should run 50 minutes each day – we have only 45 minutes. That’s one reason that it’s important to be punctual. FYI, beginning SY 2009-2010, we will begin at 6:10am – you’ve been warned!!)

3. Please make sure you have a set of scriptures every day in class. Other materials will be provided.

4. Scripture Mastery lessons on Friday: We will combine classes on Fridays and work on Scripture Mastery. As part of this, each student will be responsible to teach a 10-20 minute lesson on a chosen Scripture Mastery scripture. Help will be provided and you can partner up and help one another. We’ll discuss this more in class.

5. Sister Lee’s class, juniors & seniors, will meet in the Primary room. Sister Raynor’s class, freshmen & sophomores, will meet in the RS room. The foyer/side doors will be closed at 6:15. After that, please use the doors at the back of these rooms.

6. Make-up work: If students are excessively absent, make-up work will be provided. Make-up work is hour-for-hour in the scriptures or General Conference summaries. (45 minutes for each class missed.) We encourage you to get any make-up work done promptly. We also encourage you to be in seminary every day!

7. Reward Dinner for the summer homework assignment this Friday at 6pm!

We are looking forward to a great year together!

Love, Sisters Lee and Raynor
