ENROLLMENT CRITERIA

In order for a new elementary student to enroll at St. John’s Lutheran School, the student must have successfully completed the previous grade level. Reception of school records from his/her previous school is a regular part of the enrollment process, but it is not necessarily required before we consider enrollment completed.

Orientation Sunday

Please keep Sunday, August 20th, clear on your family calendar and attend our Orientation Sunday. This is an afternoon session that introduces all families to our new school year. Important health forms, schedules, and other needed information are a central part to Orientation Sunday. We also use it as a way for students to mingle with peers and parents to talk with teachers one more time before school gets under way for the year.

Adult Information Class

All  new  families who are not members of St. John’s Ev. Lutheran Church must attend an Adult Information Class with Pastor Schulz. The purpose of this class is to provide new parents with an overview of what we teach children who attend our school. The class will consist of three one-hour informational sessions, and must be completed during the child’s first year of enrollment.

Registration Fee

The Registration Fee will be used to purchase supplies and materials for the upcoming school year. For this reason, the Registration Fee is non-refundable. The Registration Fee is included in the annual tuition amount due and will be deducted before all tuition discounts are applied.
  1. All new  families must pay the full Registration Fee indicated before a spot for the desired class will be held. A SMART Tuition information form must be filled out and submitted with your registration. (See SMART Tuition Management Services in the packet or Enrollment Forms, Student Registration Form on the website.)
     
  2. All families with students currently enrolled at St. John’s must pay ½ of the Registration Fee when the Registration Form is turned in (or agree to use their 2005-06 Transportation Allowance, if any) before a spot for the desired class will be held. The remainder of the Registration Fee will be due by 07/09/06.
