Admissions 

Admission Standards and Procedures

Admission requirements for St. John’s Lutheran School include a complete enrollment application, all previous academic records, immunization records and an interview with the principal or his / her designee. The school has limited facility and personnel resources to serve children having specialized educational and disciplinary needs. Children with special needs that cannot be handled through existing St. John’s programs may be denied enrollment, or enrollment may be discontinued in order to encourage them to enroll at a school that can provide an appropriate program.

• The order in which children will be enrolled in St. John’s Lutheran School is: students currently enrolled in St. John’s Early Learning Center through eighth grade - up to a decided date. Following that, new students according to the order in which they register.
• Enrollment Age: To enter kindergarten, a child must be five on or before September 15. Acceptance to grade 1 through 8 is dependent upon successful completion of the prior grade level.
• Enrollment in the school will be conditional upon academic, social, and emotional adjustments. New students are enrolled on a probationary basis up to the first 45 school days of enrollment. Continuation after that point will be based on the student’s ability to be successful in St. John’s program. Only students unable to continue will be notified. This decision will be made in consultation with the teacher, the parents / guardians, the principal, and the student (when appropriate).

To enroll, a family will request an enrollment packet, which contains information about the school and an application. Parent(s) / guardian(s) must complete the application, provide copies of all previous academic records (i.e., report cards and standardized tests), and assert the truthfulness and completeness of the application by signing it. When the school receives an application, the school (office, administration, and teachers) will review the application, and the principal will schedule an interview with the family. Shortly after the review of the application and interview, the family is notified of a child’s acceptance or denial of enrollment. If an application is accepted, the family is asked to submit the registration fee and appropriate materials (i.e. immunization, health forms), which will hold the child’s place at the appropriate grade level. Registration fees are non-refundable. Applicants are admitted based on space availability and the child’s ability to benefit from the educational and spiritual services the faculty and staff endeavor to provide.

Pupils leaving the school during the school year are to notify the principal ahead of the departure and make any necessary arrangements. All financial obligations must be met before school records are forwarded to the new school.
