As I hung a fresh, new calendar on the wall at Ignite Christian Academy, I began to look forward to a new year full of opportunities and accomplishments. It's a chance for us all to set some new goals and work towards the things we want to achieve.
While many of us are making commitments for the new year, I also want to encourage students to take advantage of the opportunities at Ignite Christian Academy. Here are some extra things you can do to achieve your best in 2013:
1. Participate in Monday Prayer Time. Held every Monday at 3:30 p.m. (CT), the weekly prayer is a great opportunity for students, faculty, and staff of ICA to join together in prayer to begin the week. The link and access information are on the Online Classroom Schedule.
2. Reach out to your teachers on a regular basis. Even if you don't have a question, just send a quick note saying hi.
3. Check out the Online Classroom Schedule each week. Attend the classrooms that fit your schedule and apply to your courses.
4. Keep a notebook for each of your courses. Use it to take notes and record important things to remember for that class.
5. Know the Online Office Hours of your teachers. You can find that information in the Course Information tab of your ICA account.
6. Attend the monthly ICA social event. This month's event is Breaking the Ice. Watch your email for more information.
These things will all help you stay involved in the events happening at ICA and help you be successful in your courses this year!
