			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;"><span style="Times New Roman;"><span style="#333333;">We would like to thank each of you who participated in our survey.  They revealed that most families entrust their children to KCA because they desire a Biblical foundation, </span><span style="12.0pt;">Christian values</span><span style="#333333;">, and a challenging academic environment that will spread the </span><span style="12.0pt;">Word of God</span><span style="#333333;"> in Callaway County.  </span><span style="#333333;"><span style="small;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;"><span style="Times New Roman;"><span style="#333333;"> </span><span style="#333333;"><span style="small;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;"><span style="Times New Roman;"><span style="#333333;">At our faculty in-service on the Philosophy of Christian Education our faculty discovered that KCA’s core values lack “humility” and proposed this addition to the </span><span style="12.0pt;">Mission statement</span><span style="#333333;">. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;"><span style="Times New Roman;"><span style="#333333;"> </span><span style="#333333;"><span style="small;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;"><span style="Times New Roman;"><span style="#333333;">In light of our recent evaluations of the KCA handbooks, suggestions from the faculty, and the results of our survey we recently requested that the board make some changes to the handbooks. The most significant changes approved were:</span><span style="#333333;"><span style="small;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;"><span style="Times New Roman;"><span style="#333333;"> - the addition of a Philosophy Statement</span><span style="#333333;"><span style="small;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;"><span style="Times New Roman;"><span style="#333333;">- the addition of an </span><span style="12.0pt;">Educational Philosophy Statement</span><span style="#333333;"> similar to one in the teacher handbook</span><span style="#333333;"><span style="small;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;"><span style="Times New Roman;"><span style="#333333;">- the Purpose Statement was replaced by one that reflects by-laws and includes educating children</span><span style="#333333;"><span style="small;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;"><span style="Times New Roman;"><span style="#333333;">- the creation of a new Vision Statement</span><span style="#333333;"><span style="small;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;"><span style="Times New Roman;"><span style="#333333;">- the addition of School Wide Learning Results which were altered from the teacher handbook.</span><span style="#333333;"><span style="small;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;"><span style="Times New Roman;"><span style="#333333;">We will get the handbook updated on the web very soon since reprints will not be made until February.  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;"><span style="Times New Roman;"><span style="#333333;"> </span><span style="#333333;"><span style="small;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;"><span style="#333333;"><span style="Times New Roman;">Our faculty is working diligently on the next phase of ACSI STAR program which will define subject and grade level goals for the entire curriculum.  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="14.4pt;">ACSI <span style="AR-SA;">STAR Step 1A was successfully submitted and accepted. </span></p>
