Pastor Samuel R. Hashim's Enrollment Letter


Dear Parents:

Thank you for expressing an interest in Upper Room Christian School. As Pastor of Education, it is my privilege to introduce you to an outstanding educational ministry that is dedicated to spiritual training and academic excellence in a Christ-centered environment. Founded in 1981, Upper Room Christian School is registered with the New York State Board of Regents, with graduates in colleges, universities, and work places all across the nation. It is my sincere desire that you and your family become a part of the growing tradition and standard of excellence that has come to be associated with Upper Room Christian School.

Our admissions package is designed to act as an informative guide to help you enroll your child(ren) in an efficient and caring way. If you are applying for lower elementary grades (Kindergarten through 5th), please read the following post from our Principal, Pastor Gregory Eck, regarding our philosophy of developmental placement. It will be of particular importance to you.

Parents of those students seeking to enter our middle school or our high school (grades 6-12) are asked to read the post from Pastor Eck regarding New York State diploma requirements and specific information related to your middle and or high school student(s).

In addition, I look forward to your meeting and interviewing with our Assistant Principal and Dean of Students, Pastor Ed Dono, who has served as a teacher and an administrator at Upper Room since 1993. He is a loving and godly influence on our students, to uphold what I have long established as " a spirit controlled, disciplined, academic environment that is conducive for spiritual growth, character development, and academic achievement, in a Christ-centered atmosphere of love and acceptance to all students" in our school.

If you would like to visit with us and meet administrators and teachers, along with some of our parents, students, and alumni, we welcome you to attend our next Open House, which is scheduled for Thursday night, March 27th, 2008 at 7:30PM. This meeting will be located in our church lobby. At that time, you may return your completed admissions application and set up an interview with one of our school administrators. For those of you who are already acquainted with our staff and educational facilities, you may call us at any time to schedule an interview at your earliest convenience. Please call our school secretary, Mrs. Dono, at extension 201.

One final thought which will be of help to you is in reference to school busing. All parents/guardians must understand that even if you have not yet been accepted to URCS, you are still required to apply for school bus transportation with the school district in which you reside by April 1, 2008, or you may be denied bus transportation by your district. Therefore, please do this immediately.

In conclusion, I sincerely believe that as we partner together to raise your children up in Christ....spirit, soul and body.... you will build a loving, trusting relationship with our teachers and administrative staff that will grow and prosper throughout your family's tenure in the church-school community at Upper Room.

May God richly bless you and your children during these years.

Sincerely in Christ,
Samuel R. Hashim,
Pastor of Education
