Dear Friends,
It is with great excitement I write to share that we are ready to begin registration for
the 2008-09 Classes for the Home school Enrichment
Group at Four Corners Church!! We have been working very hard to gather all necessary information to assist you in making the decision
to enroll for classes. PLEASE – read all information as there are some changes
and dates of which you will need to be aware.
Registration
will be held in person on Thursday, August 7th
between the hours of 10am and 2pm at Four Corners Church, 6933 Hendrickson Road.
(There
is construction on Hendrickson Roadbut there is still access to the first driveway of the church coming from Cincinnati Dayton
Road. Hendrickson Road is closed coming from the east.)
All
necessary registration forms are attached for you to print out and bring to registration, or you may fill out forms when you
arrive. If you are unable to have your Pastor Referral form completed, it may be mailed at a later date.
If you cannot attend this registration, please fill out forms and mail to Angie
Slifer, 3106 Sheldon Road, Middletown, Oh, 45042.
Class size will be limited and registration will be on a first come,
first serve basis. Deadline for registration is August 22.
Much of what you have grown to know and love about the POINT weekly classes will remain the same.
Some changes for parents this year is that we will require a parent to stay onsite
during the program. We will also offer childcare on a first come first serve basis, to all families of students
attending classes. Of course, workers’ children will have first priority. The additional childcare to non-working
parents is to enable parents to connect and network together while not working in a class, again, first come first served,
as long as we have room for your children.
Below is a list of tentative classes to
be offered for this year.
