ADMISSIONS POLICY

A parent-principal-student interview is required for all students wishing to enter Trinity Lutheran School for the first time in grades 1-8. A screening and interview with the Kindergarten and/or Pre-Kindergarten teacher is also required for those entering Pre-Kindergarten or Kindergarten.

Test scores and/or report cards for the previous three years will be requested of students entering grades 3-8. If these scores or report cards are not available before registration, the parents may be asked to pay for testing to be done by Trinity Lutheran School.

Parents of children transferring from another school are to sign a release of records form from the previous school so that Trinity Lutheran School may obtain the child's master record folder.

All students are enrolled on a tentative basis until all records are received and reviewed by the principal.

Enrollment of any pupil is subject to approval by the Board of the Day School in consultation with the principal, teachers, and pastors.
 

ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS

Children who will be at least five years of age before August 1st of the current school year may enroll in Kindergarten. Children who will be at least six years old before August 1st of the current school year are eligible for enrollment in first grade.

Children of members of Trinity are given preference on enrollment. Whenever the size of the class permits, the children of non-members will be admitted in the following order:

1. Children of parents belonging to a sister congregation.

2. Children of parents who are members of no church.

3. Children of parents who are members of another church body.
