Godly Sexuality Conference - Senior High
2025-10-05 12:30 - 15:30 (America/Denver) | Authentic Life Church, 6500 W Coal Mine Ave, Littleton, CO, 80123, United States
Front Range Christian School is excited to partner with Authentic Life Church to bring you two conferences around the topic of godly sexuality. Both conferences feature Shelly Donahue, a decorated guest speaker on this topic, and in both sessions Shelly teaches parents to overcome fear and talk to their kids about sexuality with confidence and competence. At the same time, teens gain a clear vision of the physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, and relational benefits of waiting until marriage. It’s a wholistic approach to relationship education.
We believe that this topic is important, and we see a profound opportunity here for the church and the school to partner together. The focus of this time is to help students reflect about how to love well, how to live well, and how to find their identity in Jesus Christ.
This session is specifically intended for senior high students and their parents (there is another on November 9 for students grades 6-8 and their parents). The session is designed so that parents or guardians should attend alongside students (don’t worry — it won’t be totally awkward!). Please note that this event is not exclusive to FRCS, and others from outside our school community will also attend. In fact, feel free to invite friends or others in the Littleton area! The cost is FREE, but we ask that you register in advance by using the button below. A pizza lunch will be served at the conference.
REGISTER

It is also worth mentioning that we are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to partner with Authentic Life Church to bring this event to you. If you see other opportunities for FRCS to partner with local area churches, then please let Mr. Spector or Mrs. Hart know.

This special day is designed to help students reflect on their first quarter of junior high and the goals they set during their fall retreats—especially around the theme of cooperation, trust and community.
But this day isn’t just for students, it’s also a unique opportunity for parents to gather together, connect with other junior high families, and reflect on what God is doing in our community this year. Our hope is that this day helps both students and parents deepen their sense of belonging and celebrate the growth already happening.

Tuesday, October 28, will be a different day at FRCS Jr/Sr High — it is both a late start day and a half day for junior and senior high students. All students grades 7-11 will take the PSAT and seniors have the time to work on college prep tasks. Read on for specifics for each grade level. If you have questions, please email Aubren Self at aubren.self@frcs.org.

About the PSAT
The test prepares students grades 7-10 for the standardized testing process and allows us to assess test-taking strengths and weaknesses for the PSAT, ACT, and SAT,
Test results provide guidance for placement in honors and AP level classes.
For Juniors, the test is also an opportunity to qualify for several scholarships, including the National Merit Scholarship.
You can visit the PSAT website for more information, including info about preparing for the PSAT.
Digital Test
The test is digital, so senior high students should bring their fully-charged device (iPad, laptop, Chromebook) to school on October 28. Junior high students will use school-provided Chromebooks.
Senior high students must also download Bluebook to their device in order to take the test.
Late Start & Half Day
Plan to drop students off at the school around 8:20am. They will need to be in their assigned testing area by 8:40am. The PSAT concludes around 11:30am, and there are no afternoon classes on October 28. It is a half day for all Jr/Sr High students. Please plan to pick up your student at 11:30am, as there is no supervision after 11:45.
For Seniors
Seniors are not required to be on campus this day. Instead, they are encouraged to use this as a day to work on college applications, schedule campus visits (it’s a great opportunity for seniors to visit local college campuses), complete the FAFSA, or complete any other college prep tasks needed. Please take advantage of this time, and plan accordingly.
WHAT TO BRING ON OCTOBER 28

Your fully charged device; you must have the Bluebook app installed and exam setup complete BEFORE test day (senior high only)
A power cord and/or portable charger; we cannot guarantee that you will have access to an outlet during testing. Your device should be able to hold a charge for 3-4 hours. (senior high only)

An approved calculator (optional, as there is a graphing calculator built into the app)

Senior College Day

Scheduled Snow Day
2025-11-10 | CO
As an item for the Auction last spring, we auctioned an opportunity to call a snow day for the school in the fall. The date for this scheduled snow day is set for Monday, November 10. There will be no school this day.
Why are we letting a family call a snow day?
Calling a snow is a fun, unique item made available at the FRCS Auction. Several families bid on the item, which makes it a great fundraiser for the school — similar to items like the teacher outings or “be a teacher for a day.” The chosen date must be approved by FRCS Administration to ensure it does not disrupt learning or already scheduled activities. Unlike other snow days, planning one allows us to notify families in advance.
All schools in Colorado build in a contingency for a certain number of snow days each year, to ensure that all required days of learning remain available to students in the schedule, even in cases of bad weather. Being able to auction one of these contingency days is a fun way for the school to raise some money and give a family the chance to create a planned day off for all students. This auction item is planned and designed to NOT interrupt instruction and learning time for students.
My child is in the ECE program, and I still need care for that day. Can I bring my child to school?
Yes! For our preschool, PreK, and kindergarten students, it is an optional snow day. If you need care on these days, you can bring your young students in for a great day of learning and fun. If you would like to have a snow day and stay home, have fun! We do ask that you let ECE staff know what your plans are so that they can staff the ECE accordingly.
Will FRCS offices also be closed?
Yes; it is, after all, a snow day!

Godly Sexuality Conference - Grades 6-8
2025-11-16 12:30 - 15:00 | Authentic Life Church, 6500 W Coal Mine Ave, Littleton, CO, 80123, United States
UPDATE: The date for this conference has been updated. The speaker had to adjust the date due to unforeseen circumstances. Everything else about the event remains unchanged.
Front Range Christian School is excited to partner with Authentic Life Church to bring you two conferences around the topic of godly sexuality. Both conferences will feature Shelly Donahue, a decorated guest speaker on this topic, and in both sessions Shelly teaches parents to overcome fear and talk to their kids about sexuality with confidence and competence. At the same time, teens gain a clear vision of the physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, and relational benefits of waiting until marriage. It’s a wholistic approach to relationship education.
We believe that this topic is important, and we see a profound opportunity here for the church and the school to partner together. The focus of this time is to help students reflect about how to love well, how to live well, and how to find their identity in Jesus Christ.
This session is specifically intended for middle school and junior high students (grades 6-8) and parents (there is another on October 5 for senior high students and parents). The session is designed so that parents or guardians should attend alongside students (don’t worry — it won’t be totally awkward!). Please note that this event is not exclusive to FRCS, and others from outside our school community will also attend. In fact, feel free to invite friends or others in the Littleton area! The cost is FREE, but we ask that you register in advance by using the button below. A pizza lunch will be served at the conference.
