Our school hopes to foster a kind of faith life which goes beyond what can be accomplished in the classroom. We therefore cordially invite parents and their children to participate also in the worship services, Sunday school, Bible classes and other activities of the school's sponsor, St. Stephen Lutheran Church.
We feel that it is very important that parents know and understand what is being taught to their children in our school; therefore, we also require that parents of new enrollees attend a five hour introduction to Lutheran teachings. Attendance at such meetings by both parents is strongly encouraged. We have found that the study provides information parents need and want.
The Board of Education reserves the right to deny continued enrollment to any student if there is a conflict with the stated principles and rules of the school. It also reserves the right to deny enrollment to any student whose needs cannot be met by the available staff.
Grade Placement
Generally, Kindergarten students must be 5 years old and first grade students must be 6 years old by September 1 before they can be admitted. Other grade placements are determined on the basis of achievement tests, past records of performance, and other indicators of ability, aptitude and maturity.
