New Hope Board Announces New Head of School

“We call on you, O God, for you will answer us; give ear to us and hear our prayers.”  Psalm 17:6

Mr. Stephen Steiner has been selected as the next Head of School at New Hope Christian Academy. Mr. Steiner began as a volunteer at New Hope in 1997 and has served as a teacher in the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades, as well as serving in a variety of administrative roles. He is currently the Instructional Leader of our Upper School (4th-6th grades). Mr. Steiner was selected after an extensive search that included both national and local candidates. The board of directors determined that Mr. Steiner was the best person to lead New Hope by unanimous decision.

Technology
New Hope is committed to preparing our students for the 21st century by educating the whole child.  In this age, critical thinking and technological skills are essential components of a complete education.  By integrating technology into every subject area, students learn to use technology as an effective tool in both learning new material and in producing quality products indicative of the material that they have learned.

Khan Academy
If you are struggling with your math homework and have computer access then you should look at the tutorials provided by the Khan Academy Online.  The Khan Academy is a free site with hundreds of tutorial videos available.  Most subjects/videos are aimed at older students, but there are plenty of basic arithmetic tutorials as well as tutorials in higher math (through Calculus), science, history, and economics for New Hope Alumni.

It's an amazing site and the great thing is that you can stop the video or replay as many times as you need to build understanding.

The Khan Academy isn't just for those who are struggling with a subject.  It's a great and quick source of information if you just want to learn something new.  Each video is less than 12 minutes long, so take a few minutes to advance your knowledge.

Khan Academy App -- Now you can put the Khan Academy on your iPhone, Android phone, or iPad.  Mobile tutoring!  Available through the Open App Marketplace.



Facebook Safety Information
Facebook, one of the most popular social networking sites, is a fun way for teens and adults to stay in touch with family and friends, but it can be a source of privacy and safety concerns for parents.  Connect Safely has created two resources especially for parents to address those concerns.  Although New Hope students are too young to have a Facebook account because the Child Online Privacy Protection Act requires a child to be 13, we wanted to pass these resources on to parents who might have older children who utilize Facebook.
