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 a lookout for information concerning our Orientation Sunday in late August. 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 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
Registration Fee: The School Fees (Registration, Book, Administration) will be used to purchase supplies and materials for the upcoming school year as well as enroll families in SMART Tuition Services for tuition collection. The School Fees should be paid to St. John's Lutheran School. Please note that only part of the School Fees are refundable. Only enrollment decisions made by St. John's will result in refunded fees. The Registration Fee is included in the annual tuition amount due and will be deducted before all tuition discounts are applied.
- All new families must pay the Registration Fee amount indicated before a spot for the desired class will be held.
A SMART Tuition enrollment 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)
- All families with students currently enrolled at St. John's must pay ½ of the Registration Fee after the Registration Form is turned in by March 20th (or agree to use their 2007-08 Transportation Allowance, if any) before a spot for the desired class will be held. The remainder of the Registration Fee will be due during summer 2008. Re-enrolling families that register after March 20th will be required to pay their school fees in full at the time of re-enrollment.
