Sponsors Needed

Sponsors are needed for two very critical needs for the 2012-2013 school year. If you would like to sponsor a child to attend HVCA, we certainly could use your help. Even if the sponsor is for $10 a month, it would make a huge difference. We also need a sponsor who is interested in helping to purchase a SmartBoard system in the 3/4, English, and Kindergarten classrooms. Please contact Mr. Bianco at rbianco@myhvca.org if you are interested in helping or need more information. Thank you for your time on this matter.

Your Email Address Is Needed!

Please be sure to get us your email address as soon as possible. With this address, you will have access to your child’s information via Ren-web, receive the Connections newsletter, and also communicate with the staff of HVCA in a convenient manner. Call the office @ 215.947.6595 to give us that information.

School Dress Code

All students are to be in full and proper uniform by the
end of the Labor Day holiday. This includes the sweater vest (unless you a lower grade girl), pants, skirts, shoes, etc.. Thank you for your cooperation on this issue. Please visit out Uniform Link for more information Uniform

*** Registration 2013-2014***

Huntingdon Valley Christian Academy is now registering for the 2013-2014 school year. Please call the school office at 215.947.6595 to register now. We are expecting big things for the 2013-2014 school year. Be a part of it.

Pre-K and Kindergarten Registration

Huntingdon Valley Christian Academy will have two lower division classes for the 2012-2013 school year. We are accepting applications for our 4 yr old Pre-K class and also our 5 yr old Kindergarten class. Demand is very high for these two classes, so please do not wait to register your child or loved one as soon as possible. The number of slots available for these classes is extremely limited. Please contact the school at 215.947.6595 to have your application sent to you immediately. This is a tremendous opportunity for your child to be a part of something special at Huntingdon Valley Christian Academy. Won’t you join us?

Box Tops

Do you have some Boxtops or even one or two?
If so, please put them in a little plastic bag and collect them for us. These little guys can be really valuable for the school. Each one is worth $0.10 each. While that doesn’t seem like a lot, it adds up to be a considerable amount at the end of the year when we redeem them. Send them with your child, pastor, teacher, or anyone associated with the school. We love box tops and would love it if you would help us collect as many as possible. Can we reach 10,000 box tops this year?

Goodsearch

A few years ago, Mrs. Smith (thank you Mrs. Smith) signed HVCA up with the search engine GoodSearch. This search engine pays HVCA for all the searches one does through their portal. If you do any online shopping and go through the GoodSearch portal, we receive a portion of that sale as well. How cool is that? Almost all of us uses search engines in our lives on a daily basis and by using GoodSearch, you can help HVCA raise much needed funds.
What do you have to do? That is easy. Go to www.goodsearch.com. Once you are there, there is a place where you put in our school name “Huntingdon Valley Christian Academy” under the cause you would like to support. That is all you have to do. If you want to sponsor HVCA even further, you can register by using your google or Facebook login and when you do your online shopping, if you go through the GoodSearch portal, you can raise up to 20% of your purchases towards HVCA. This includes sites like Amazon.com, Macys, Buy.com, Office Max, PetSmart, iTunes, WalMart, Target, and tons of others sites. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at school. Thank you for your support.
