Enrollment Process
Enrollment at St. Paul’s Lutheran School includes the completion of an inquiry form, an on-site tour and meeting, and the most recent report card (Gr. 1-8 transfer students). Previous school and immunization records and a physical are also required of all new students to St. Paul’s. Children entering Kindergarten must be five years old before August 1st and require a birth certificate copy.
Class size in grades 5-8 is limited to twenty-eight students per class for single session classes, and twenty-two per class for grades 1-4. The limit in kindergarten is twenty students.
Priority for enrollment is as follows:
1.) Students and families currently enrolled in Grades K -8;
2.) St. Paul’s Lutheran Church members;
3.) Students with no church membership;
4.) Students who are Lutheran, but not members of St. Paul’s;
5.) Students who are members of another Church.
When classes are held in two sections, class assignments are made at the end of the school year for the following fall. They are announced in an issue of the Summer School Bulletin. Assignments are made by the teachers of the current and next year’s classes in consultation with the Resource Teacher. Consideration is given to the following: equal numbers of boys and girls, previous mix of students, a mix of student academic ability and learning styles, student behavior, and organizational needs.
St. Paul’s School admits students of any race, color, nationality, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities afforded or made available to students of the school. St. Paul’s does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality, and ethnic origin in the administration of our educational policies, administration of our admission policies, athletics, and other school administered programs.
