Age/Entrance Requirements—Trinity Lutheran Christian School’s ECEC is licensed for children three (3) to six (6) years of age. Children in the ECEC program must be at least three (3) years of age and be potty trained. A valid birth certificate must be presented upon application. Exceptions to the age requirement depend on evaluation by the principal and the ECEC Director with approval of the School Board of Education.

Admission Policy--A personal interview with a parent/guardian before acceptance and admission is needed to determine if the child's individual health, physical, social, and emotional development needs can be met by our ECEC.

Prior to admission, all medical and personal forms must be completed and returned to the director for the child's cumulative file. Immunization forms must be completed and up-to-date prior to admittance into our ECEC.

Students in ECEC may be enrolled on a part-time basis. Changes in the enrollment schedule must be made in writing on forms available from the school office and signed by the parent/guardian and the ECEC Director and turned into the office at least two weeks before the change is to take affect. A charge of $25.00 is made for the enrollment change.

The child’s first fifteen (15) days of attendance will be a probationary period before acceptance into the program.

 

Early enrollment is necessary for the School Board of Education to plan for teachers and facilities for the coming school year. Enrollments will be accepted only if openings exist in the established class structure. If classes are filled, a waiting list will be established until openings exist or sufficient students are available to warrant hiring additional teachers.

Re-enrollment of currently enrolled students for the following year will begin the first Monday in February for two weeks. Open enrollment for classes not filled by paid registrations for re-enrollment will begin the third Monday in February. Re-enrollment will then be subject to available openings.

Exceptions to the age requirement depend on evaluation by the principal and Kindergarten teacher with approval of the School Board of Education.

2. Siblings of continuing students

3. Active members of our congregation. (Those who are in the process of completing church membership requirements are considered in this category. Priority status depends upon completion of those requirements.)

4. Families active in other Christian congregations

5. Families actively seeking spiritual direction for their lives and actively searching for a church home

6. Other families

After class sizes are full, the remaining applicants will be placed on a waiting list.

Trinity Lutheran Christian School reserves the right to accept students on the waiting list according to the needs and priorities that support the families and total programs of Trinity Lutheran Christian School.
