North Kern Christian School

Welcome!

A lot of information comes home from school. This information is given because we want to keep you informed about what is going on in your child’s classroom and with the school in general. Please take time each day to go over the notes and also to talk with your child about his/her classroom and day at school! As always, feel free to contact the school with questions you might have!

As a body of believers, we are called upon to be constantly in prayer (I Thess. 5:17). These weekly notes will list different prayer items that I hope you will remember as you spend time in prayer each day. There are always more prayer items than listed, but we ask that you give special attention to these! Please continue to pray for our school as well as each teacher and their class.
