February: Nurturing Talents and Facilitating Dialogue

January 14, 2026

Dr. Yelena V. Solodyankin

February allows families to discuss their student’s grades and progress with teachers, participate in a talent show and speech meet, and register for the next school year.

Start February with Mid-year Parent-Teacher Conferences

February opens with a focus on individual student progress through Mid-year Parent-Teacher Conferences. These conferences, scheduled per request or need, provide a personalized platform for parents to engage with teachers, discuss their child's academic journey, and receive insights into their child’s progress during the first semester. The collaborative dialogue between parents and teachers strengthens the support system for each student, fostering a shared commitment to their academic success.

Host a Registration Night for the Upcoming School Year 

As February unfolds, the anticipation for the upcoming academic year begins with registration night for the Next School Year. This event marks the commencement of the registration process for the upcoming academic year. Parents can explore course offerings, understand registration procedures, and secure placements for their children in classes. This early engagement ensures a smooth transition into the planning for the upcoming school year.

February’s Special Chapel Highlighting Students’ God’s Given Talents

A highlight of February is the Special Chapel dedicated to recognizing and celebrating students' diverse talents. This event encourages student participation, inviting them to showcase their God-given talents in areas such as music, art, and more. The Special Chapel fosters a culture that appreciates the unique gifts of individual students.

3rd Quarter Midterm Progress Check-Ins

As the third quarter progresses, the focus shifts to academic assessments with the 3rd Quarter Mid-term Progress Check-in. This evaluation provides insights into students' academic achievements and areas for improvement. Teachers can identify any necessary interventions, ensuring that students are on track for success in the second half of the school year.

Presidents' Day

February also includes a break for Presidents Day’, providing students and staff with a day to rest and recharge. Prior to this day, teachers may discuss in history classes one of the important jobs of holding the presidential office and pray for God’s wisdom for those who lead our country. 

Participate in ACSI’s Speech Meet

Students may participate in the speech meet sponsored by the Association of Christian Schools International. The speech meet competition allows students to develop their oratory skills and participate in a platform that encourages effective communication. This event not only hones students' public speaking abilities but also allows them to represent the school in a broader educational context.

In summary, February is a month of diverse activities, including parent-teacher collaboration, talent show celebration, and academic assessment. The combination of personalized conferences, talent showcases, and engaging activities contributes to a dynamic and supportive educational environment.
