We love to bless our teachers and staff on our last morning with breakfast treats! If you’re willing and able, you can sign up here to bring coffee, donuts, and other goodies. If you’d like to help setup and serve, you can do that too!

We have two fun fund raisers going on at Super Friday this week! Here are all the details!

IMPORTANT! Parents: if your child(ren) plan to participate in the lap-a-thon (12:45-1:30), take just a minute and email or text me their names.

This will allow us to know how many students to prepare for, and get their lap cards ready ahead of time.

Early Childhood students must be picked up in carline at usual time, they are not eligible to participate in Lap-a-thon.

Parents and EC siblings who wish to cheer the kids on, please come to Entrance D. Spectators will stay in the Entrance D foyer until the lapathon is ready to begin.
Parents who don’t plan to come in and watch can pick up in carline beginning at 1:30.

The Tiki Truck will be parked near Entrance D AFTER the lapathon, selling treats, snow cones, etc. Profits will be donated to our scholarship fund, so join us! All students must be supervised by a parent in the parking lot. SAFETY FIRST!

Sponsor forms and pledge money will be turned in when return from Easter break, not this week.

Friday, March 22 will be our annual Lap-a-thon! This is a fun, fast and furious fund raiser that helps us to build up our Super Friday scholarship fund. Students who wish to participate should print the attached Sponsor Form and start getting pledges between now and through spring break.

Super Friday Families!

Today is registration day for current and returning Home Run Ministries families!

A few things to remember…

Everyone must log in and be approved for the new registration session. Hopefully you have already done this and are ready to go, but if you are logging in this morning for the first time this week, you may have to wait a bit for approval. I am going to be multi-tasking like crazy all day today!

If you log in before 8 am and see class options, DO NOT put anything in your cart before 8:00am. There is a process to opening registration and it comes up in stages. In the interest of fairness, any thing put in carts before 8 am will be deleted and you will have to start over. 😦

The Payment Protection option is NOT a HRM feature, it is part of the website. It is not required and not recomended by HRM.

Text me if you run into issues or problems, but be patient waiting for a response.

Take a deep breath and pray for the admins behind the scenes this morning, if you would. We are excited about the new semester and can’t wait to get everyone in their new classes, 2024 is going to be amazing!

Go to http://www.homerunministries.com and choose Register for classes, then click Login

Your account info from fall will still work, but you have to login and be approved before registration or you will be waiting and sad on the big day!

You can also review and accept all info and forms from last semester so you are ready to register next week.

If you do not have a membership, you should create one before registration as well (new families register beginning on December 8).

Super Friday registration will open next week for Spring 2024!

Check out the documents attached here to see Class Schedule options, Class Descriptions and more information. If you see any errors or have questions, please text me at 225-324-7758 or email me at dawnpruyn@homerunministries.com.

More info to come regarding the website in the next day or two!

Arrivals: We have tuned up and tweaked our process to get everyone quickly and safely checked in.

            If you have ONLY Early Childhood students, you can enter through the right door at Entrance F without waiting in the check-in line. Proceed to the right of the check-in table and go straight to the preschool hall.

            If you have Older Childhood students (or both EC and OC), please enter the line to the check-in table. We will have 3 lines going to 3 staff members, just give your last name first, then first names of OLDER CHILDREN only and they will check you off and wave you on to the name tag table. Parents of OC, if your child is comfortable doing so, they can check themselves in, you aren’t required to walk your children in.

            Once your OC kiddos have their name tags, they can proceed to the gym for Morning Time. Parents, you can help your child find their name tags if you wish, but it isn’t required. You are welcome to head out once you’ve dropped off your EC sweeties.

PLEASE SEND YOUR CHILD WITH A WATER BOTTLE AND A NUT-FREE SNACK OR $1-2 for concessions. Please don’t send bills larger than a $5 if possible, we don’t have a lot of change 😊

Dismissals: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

We have done a lot of work on our end to make this quicker and more efficient for everyone, but I need parents to do their part as well. Please follow the map and enter the parking lot based on whether or not you have Early Childhood students (RED) or only Older Childhood (GREEN). If you are in the wrong line, we are going to have to send you back out, as we don’t have staff to move students from one side to the other and parents are not allowed to enter during dismissal and it is a safety hazard.

If you have EC children, be sure to have your children’s names and EC room numbers on your car sign. When your children are brought out, please work with us to get everyone seated and buckled asap so we can keep moving. If you need extra time, consider moving to a nearby parking space. If you have BOTH EC and OC, do NOT get in the EC line before 12:15 (or even 12:20). Your older kids won’t be ready for pickup and we will have to send you back around to the back. ☹ If you have both EC and OC, but your EC child is out for some reason, you will still need to pick up your OC in the EC line. If you have questions about this, let me know.

If you have only OC, you need a sign in your window with your family number. This number was emailed last week, and will also be on your child’s name tag when you bring them in. If you need help with this, email or text me, I can give it to you.

If you wish to “walk up” for pickup, (OC ONLY—NO WALK UP FOR EC) you will need to park and walk up to Entrance K (NOT F). K is the entrance directly to the right of the gym. You will be met at the door, just give your family # and someone will bring your child to you. We will not take Walk-ups at Entrance F. This is for safety, we do not want anyone walking across the carline.

If you need to pick up your children early, please arrive BEFORE 12:00 and enter at Entrance F. You will sign in, let us know, and we will get your children for you. If you text me that you are on your way, that will be even quicker. (225-324-7758) You will not be allowed to walk in after noon.

Arrivals and End of Day Map and Procedures

Morning Arrivals

ALL FAMILIES AND STAFF WILL ENTER AT ENTRANCE F

Staff should enter between 8:00-8:30am.

Non-staff Families may enter beginning at 8:30.

EC- Early Childhood parents may take their children directly to the preschool hall and check them in at their classroom beginning at 8:40am. If you do not know your child’s room number, please contact Dawn Pruyn at 225-324-7758.

OC– Older Children will have name tags at a table in the atrium once you enter the building. Please help your child find their tags and put it on if needed. The name tag has their classes, rooms numbers, and their End Of Day room number or family number for your car sign. Children should be accompanied in the parking lot at all times. Parents are not required to enter the building with their older students, but may if they wish. Older Children should proceed directly to the gym once they have their tags. If you are also bringing Early Childhood students to their class, you will not be allowed to enter the EC hall until 8:40am.

Entrance F will be the only entrance for Super Friday. Do not open doors to other entrances; this is for your children’s safety.

Parents with children in both EC and OC will pick up all children at the EC line. You can get in line NO EARLIER than 12:15, as your older children will not be ready before then. You will be asked to go to the back of the line if this happens. ☹

You will need to create a sign for your car window with your FAMILY #. You may put your last name, but it isn’t required.  You will get in the OC Line pictured below. Please don’t “jump the tracks”, follow the path and stay in line. You will receive a separate email with your family #. It will also be on your child’s name tag at drop off, so you can double check there. We will begin putting students in cars at 12:15.

 If someone else will be picking up your children, or if you need to pick up your children before 12:00, please notify Dawn Pruyn ahead of time. (225-324-7758)

Entrance and exit will follow the map below. (take a picture on your phone, you’ll be glad you did!)
