Principal Notes – September 2020

Posted by & filed under Zion Lutheran School.

Welcome to Zion Lutheran School as we begin our 2020-2021 school year! I would like to share my appreciation to our returning families for continuing to make Zion your choice for educating your child(ren). To our new families, we joyfully welcome you into the Zion family.

Since this is our first school-wide communication of the year, I’d like to mention a few things that will help to make this year a smooth and successful one. The following informational bullets will be beneficial to you and your child…

  • Put Jesus 1st in your life
  • Punctual attendance is expected, school starts @ 8:00am each school day, be here as early as 7:35am.
  • If you haven’t yet, activate your GradeLink account – Starting Tuesday, Sept. 1, your child’s grades (1-8) will be available for your review — check your child’s grades weekly and hold them accountable for missing work. Grades are updated online each Tuesday.
  • Communication is the key, read the Lion’s Roar found on the website and emailed to each family, teacher’s weekly newsletters, and email teachers when necessary.
  • Make sure your child is wearing appropriate attire each day for a Christian school. Our dress code policy can be found on the website. (no Mohawk haircuts, spaghetti strap shirts, and short shorts- shorts should not be shorter than child’s fingertips when arms are straight down by their side )
  • Ensure your child is picked up from school each day by 3:15 pm.
  • If you ever have a concern with a teacher or staff member, please speak to them directly first. If concern is resolved great, if not speak with the principal or ECE director. Following this process is Biblical and helps to minimize issues and concerns.

We are excited to start a new school year and look forward to working with you as we seek to educate your child(ren) spiritually, emotionally, physically, and academically.

In Christ,

Zach Brewer, Principal

2019/2020 Summer Letter

Posted by & filed under Principal Brewer's Corner, School News, Zion Lutheran School.

Dear ZLS Parents:

School begins in approximately one month, on Wednesday. August 14th. Our school theme this year is based on 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” The Lord desires a relationship with each of us! What a precious gift/relationship that is. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 is a great reminder of how blessed we are (forgiven people – eternal life) and that we can rejoice in all circumstances even when things are tough. We look forward to partnering with you as we strive to instill this biblical principle in our students, your children.

The following dates are for Back to School Nights…Arrive in the classroom at the start time of each session!

Preschool & Kindergarten Back to School Night will be held on Thursday, August 8th

Preschool Times: Meet in Fellowship Hall

4:00-4:45pm – All 3 year old classes (Mrs. Heideman)
5:00-5:45pm – All 4 year old classes (Mrs. Hart/Mrs. Moots)

Parents of students in grade 6 and any new families in grades 7-8, please plan to attend the 6:45pm session time in the Fellowship Hall. If you have a returning student in grades 7-8 the Back to School Night is optional. If you have multiple children, please plan to attend the other time slots as needed.

You may bring your school supplies at this time. If you are unable to attend, please see your teacher the first day of school to receive an informational packet. Bibles and Zion t-shirt (free shirt for student) order forms will be available both nights. ($10 per ESV Hardback Bible)

Please be sure to read the policies/procedures of the Zion Lutheran School Handbook prior to the Back to School Nights. If you have questions regarding the policies/procedures of the school handbook you may ask them that night.

The Zion staff and I look forward to partnering with you as we help your children grow in the FAITH. May our Lord Jesus continue to sustain and support you in your calling as parents.

Sincerely,

Zach Brewer, Principal
Cherlyn Hart, ECE Director
