Due to increases in rent, technology and supplies, we are implementing a small increase in our fees this year. This is absolutely necessary for us to continue in this ministry. Registration fees are going up $10 per child, tuition is increasing $15 per child. Please know that we are doing everything we can to keep our costs and fees down so that we can serve as many families as possible! If you are interested in applying for a need-based scholarship (up to 50% of tuition costs), please contact Christina Wheeler at christinawheeler@homerunministries.com.
If you are able and interested in donating to our scholarship fund, please contact Christina for that as well.
Course options for Fall 2023 are now available, so click on the pdf below to see what’s new at Super Friday, including the long-awaited SUPER TEEN PROGRAM!
Registration will be on our NEW website http://www.homerunministries.com beginning on June 12 for HRM staff, June 14 for current HRM families and June 16 for new families. You will need to create an account on the website BEFORE registration, so take the time to do that in advance. Everyone needs to create an account, even if you had one on our old website!
I have heard from many of you over the last two weeks with questions and concerns about safety for our students and staff at Woodridge Baptist on Fridays. As both a parent and director of this program, I have the same concerns. I have met with Home Run and Super Friday leadership, and we are implementing the following changes beginning this week, Friday, April 14, 2023.
We will have an off-duty HPD police officer on campus to provide security on our campus. Officer Corona will monitor all entrances and exits during Super Friday each week.
Staff will all have their Super Friday issued name badges on while they are on campus for identification.
Visitors (including substitute teachers and aides, Mom’s Rest Stop, or parents picking up before noon) will need to show identification, sign in and receive a name tag for their time on campus.
Parents walking up for pickup after 12:00 noon will need to give their name at Entrance K and wait outside for their child. No visitors will be allowed into the building after 12:00pm.
Staff and Mom’s Rest Stop parents exiting with their children need to exit Entrance K only.
Thank you for your help and support as we do all that we can to provide a safe and secure Super Friday environment.
This week is our 3rd annual Lap-a-Thon, 12:30-1:00pm in the gymnasium. If your child is planning to participate, please send a quick email to Kobe.A.Richards@gmail.com, so we have an idea of how many to expect.
Early Childhood Students will not be participating but may watch if they are with their parents.
Parents wishing to cheer students on may enter the building beginning at 12:15 at the gym entrance J. Parents who do not plan to attend may pick up in the usual pickup line beginning at 1:00pm. You do NOT need to turn in your completed sponsor sheet or any money at this time, sponsor sheets and collected pledges must be turned in by Friday, April 14.
We have had a wonderful first four weeks of the Spring Semester.
One important issue that I need to bring to everyone’s attention…Dismissal Safety! Please remember that our number one priority at the end of the day is the safety of all our children and families. While we certainly strive to be efficient and quick, nothing trumps safety.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING NOTES CAREFULLY!
Early Childhood Dept will begin putting children in cars as early as 12:00pm, for those parents who only have EC students. IF YOU HAVE BOTH EC AND OC, do NOT get in line until 12:20. You will be sent to the back of the line, because your children will not be ready for pickup before 12:20.
Older Childhood Dept will begin putting children in cars at approximately 12:20. 3rd period dismisses at 12:15, but it takes a few minutes for most of our students to get downstairs into the atrium.
If you aren’t in line by 12:30, you are late. Please send a text to Dawn at 225-324-7758 and let her know.
If you need to pick your child up early, you must plan to do so BEFORE 12:00 noon, just send me a text and let me know. After that time, your child will have to be picked up by end of the day procedure.
Parents can NOT walk in for pickup at Entrance D. Entrance D is for car pickup only. If you want to walk up, you must do so at Entrance K on the gym side of the building.
STAFF AND MOM’s REST STOP, please exit the building at Entrance K, NOT Entrance D. We do not want families crossing the car line, it isn’t safe!
If the car in front of you is taking a bit longer to load than your children, please just wait. DO NOT PASS AROUND CARS TO THE RIGHT WHILE THEY ARE LOADING. We have children walking around the side of vehicles to get in and it isn’t safe for cars to pass on the right. An extra 30 seconds or so won’t kill you!
Finally, please wait for your child to get completely in the car and close the door before you take off! No one needs to be in that big of a hurry!
I understand that pickup line isn’t anybody’s favorite part of the day, and we are all ready to get out and get on with the weekend, but please bring your patience every single Friday so that we can all get home safely.
Spring semester will begin on Friday, January 20, and we just can’t wait to see all of you again!
There is so much information to share and email is so old school, I’m going to share all documents here, so no one misses out on all the helpful stuff!
Final payment for Spring 2023 semester is due on Friday, January 6.
If you made full balance payment before the first due date (Dec. 16), then you are good! No need to do anything else at this time.
If you made partial payment for Dec. 16, or if you aren’t sure if you have a balance, please find the emailed invoice link (subject line PLEDGE #### FROM HOME RUN MINISTRIES, INCORPORATED, from quickbooks@notification.intuit.com, if you need to search for it) and follow the link to check your balance and payment history.
Registration for Super Friday Spring 2023 for currently enrolled Home Run Ministries families will open Friday, December 2 at 8:00am sharp! Please read the attached documents carefully BEFORE Friday morning, so you are ready to register asap…classes fill quickly as we all know. Please don’t submit the form before that time, it will not be processed.
Here is a short video that I created to walk you through the registration process!
The link to the google form is in the Course Offerings Document, just click there when you are ready to register (not before 8am on Friday) and complete each step until you hit the Submit button. You will receive an invoice for registration fee within 48 hours of registration, and you will receive a schedule and invoice for tuition and fees within a week.
A few important notes:
Remember that age on the form is age ON SEPT 1, 2022.
Students choosing classes need to click 3 options for all 3 classes.
If you have a student who is 14 or older who wishes to only take Leadership Training, you do not need to click any other choices.
If you have a child who wishes to take the 2-period Intermediate Jewelry Making class, click that as your first choice for first period. You should still put 2nd and 3rd choices for first period and put all 3 choices for 2nd period. I will only use those options if Int. Jewelry is full.
If your child’s choices are all full, I will reach out by text with available options so we can complete their schedule.
Registration for new families or returning families not registered at SF or HRM in fall 2022 will open on Monday, December 5, at 8:00am, so if you pass this link along, please let them know!
