Online Health Sign-up for High School Students
If you are in need of completing your high school health credit, the Spring 2 session of online Health begins March 19. If you would like to be enrolled in this class, you must fill out the form at this link by Friday March 9 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dEJZNUFJWENFaTBlYW83cHBnNzdxcmc6MQ. You will be charged an extra $350 on your tuition bill for this class if you are not enrolled in a study hall, early dismissal or late arrival for the 2017-2018 school year. If you took Health in 8th grade here at Faith or have taken Health at Las Vegas Day School, Adelson, Cornerstone, Alexander Dawson or The Meadows in 7th or 8th grade, your high school Health requirement is already complete and you do not need this class. I’m sorry but CCSD middle school Health is not cleared to count for high school credit by the state. Contact Dan Buikema at buikemad@flhsemail.org if you have any questions. (3/9)

Accessing PSAT Scores
All the PSAT scores from the exam taken in October are now available. The breakdown of each section, including the correct answers as well as a personalized study plan from Khan Academy can be found on your College Board account at collegeboard.org. If you have not yet, you will need to create a College Board account in order to see your scores. The directions are below. Please, please, please...if you have already created an account do not create another, as this will severely complicate all dealings with College Board in the future, from SAT's to AP's to eventually sending scores to colleges. If you can't remember if you already have an account, please go through the "forgot my password" or "forgot my username" process to be certain. Any issues with accounts need to be directed to College Board rather than Faith Lutheran. Paper copies of scores will not be distributed as College Board no longer sends paper scores, however there will be test score interpretation assemblies during advisories in January for further information and to answer any questions.
- Go to collegeboard.org
- Click “Sign Up”
- Go through the process of creating an account
- When done, sign in with your new username and password
- Click “PSAT 8/9”
- If your scores do not appear, click “Add Scores”
- You may be asked to enter your password again
- You may be asked to update/double check all your information
- Click “Update”

DEVOTIONAL
but they were kept from recognizing him. Luke 24:16
When you face a crisis it’s easy to lose perspective. It happened to two of Christ’s disciples on the Emmaus Road. Discouraged about His death, they were ‘going over all these things that had happened. In the middle of their...questions, Jesus came up and walked along with them. But they were not able to recognize who he was’ (vv. 14-16). When you take your eyes off Jesus, you start to feel helpless about your situation. Dr Michael Youssef says: ‘Facing a major crisis, I tend to be the kind of person whose vision becomes blurred. My perceptions are shot. My contemplations are one-sided. I often shut out the very people who can deliver me, just like those two disciples...Their vision was blurred about the person who was walking with them and talking to them. The one whose death they were mourning was alive...but they didn’t realize it because their focus was on the wrong thing.’ But everything changed the minute they recognized Jesus. ‘Within the hour they were on their way back to Jerusalem. There...the two...told...how Jesus had appeared to them as they were walking along...and how they had recognized him as he was breaking the bread’ (vv. 33-35). Note the words ‘within the hour’. In an instant, they went from fear to courage, pain to joy, and despair to hope. Paul wrote, ‘I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened’ (Ephesians 1:18). When you stop focusing on the problem and fix your eyes on Jesus, you get 20/20 vision and you’re filled with hope.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to keep my eyes on You when things happen to me that get me confused about situations. I know You are always there to walk me through whatever happens today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Heavenly Father, help me to keep my eyes on You when things happen to me that get me confused about situations. I know You are always there to walk me through whatever happens today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
