Announcements

This year for our Annual Athletic Awards Banquet we are planning a COVID friendly Athletic Recognition and Tailgate Picnic.

Here are the details:

WHO: All are welcome to join us, but specifically, reaching out to all student athletes in grades 4th through 12th that participated in an ALCS sport to attend the Athletic Recognition and Tailgate Picnic. 

WHAT: Challenger Athletic Recognition & Tailgate Picnic with tailgate activities and sand volleyball and corn-hole tournaments.

WHEN: Saturday, May 15, 2021, 5:00 pm until complete. 

WHERE: City Church Parking Lot and ALCS outdoor athletic areas.

WHY: To recognize all of our athletes and present senior athlete awards in a fun and safe atmosphere at the end of the school year.

TIMELINE:

Arrive at 5:00 pm. Tailgate with your family or pre-order food from the Challenger Booster Club. The Challenger Booster Club is selling hamburgers, cheeseburgers or hotdogs and all meals include condiments, chips, chocolate chip cookie, and water. You must pre-order your food if you intend to support the Challenger Booster Club. The pre-ordered food will be ready at 5:00 when you arrive.  Hamburger and cheeseburger meal combos are $6.00 and hotdog meal combos are $4.00. (Pre-order form attached)

If you decide to bring your own grill and food, please ensure that you take all your equipment back home with you. For example, we will not have a place for you to dump hot coals, but a little gas grill would work well. Or you can bring other picnic foods and enjoy the safely distanced fellowship.

Athletic Ceremony starts at 5:45 pm. Bring a lawn chair and please sit on the football field, maintaining social distancing.

Tailgate Activities start at 6:15 until complete. All are welcome to join us for the fun tailgate activities even if you don’t attend the Athletic Recognition.

Thanks for supporting Challenger Athletics!

Public Health Madison Dane County has guidance for what to do if you are sick or have possibly been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 HERE

"I was exposed to someone with COVID-19"

First, know that you generally need to be in close contact with someone with COVID-19 to get infected. Close contact includes scenarios like living with or caring for a person with confirmed COVID-19, being within six feet of a person with confirmed COVID-19 for about 15 minutes (with or without a mask), or if someone with COVID-19 coughed on you, kissed you, shared utensils with you or you had direct contact with their body secretions.

Quarantine Guidance

You can develop COVID-19 anytime during the 14 days after your last close contact with someone who has COVID-19. In order to prevent spreading COVID-19 to others, you must quarantine, which means you must stay home from work, school, and other activities.

When quarantining, you should always:

• Monitor your symptoms for 14 days after your last exposure to COVID-19
• Stay home from school, work, and other activities and get tested as soon as possible if you develop symptoms. If positive, follow isolation guidance for people who test positive; if negative, continue quarantining.

It is safest if you quarantine for 14 days after your last exposure. No test is required to end quarantine.

You do have other options for quarantine. These options are to:

• Quarantine for 10 days after your last exposure. No test is required to end quarantine. Monitor yourself for symptoms until 14 days after your last exposure.
• Quarantine and get tested for COVID-19 6 or 7 days after last exposure. If your test is negative, you could end quarantine after 7 days of quarantine. You must have your negative test result before ending quarantine and the test cannot be before day 6. Monitor yourself for symptoms until 14 days after your last exposure.

Abundant Life Christian School is seeking adults who would be interested in substitute teaching.  Substitute teachers need a four-year degree, a desire to serve students, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  ALCS is offering in-person classes and safety precautions are well-established to help keep teachers and students safe.  If you are looking for an opportunity to earn a little extra money, make a difference in the lives of kids, and have flexibility in your work schedule, please prayerfully consider substitute teaching.  Contact ALCS for more information at 608-221-1520 or alcsinfo@alcs.us or complete our Substitute Teacher Application.

Check out what's for lunch!

As we celebrate special days this school year (such as birthdays and holidays), we ask that families only bring in prepackaged, individually wrapped treats to share. Due to COVID-19, we are not allowing home baked treats and snacks to be brought in and shared with your student's class. Thank you for your understanding and please contact Mrs. Roades if you have any questions.
