Greetings from Grace Lutheran School. I hope your summer has been going well. With just over a month until the start of the new school year, we thought this would be a good time to provide some reminders and updates.
Registration Night is Wednesday, August 14 from 5:30-8:00pm. Come at any point during that time to turn in or complete any medical or other forms not yet completed. This is also the time to sign up for Extended Day Care, the lunch milk program, hot lunch, purchase a PE uniform, and receive information from the Grace Parent Organization. Students are welcome to attend. There will be a New Parent Orientation from 6:30-7:00pm that evening. Care will be provided for new students while their parents attend the Orientation.
We have updated our Student Dress Policy. It has not changed much, but I believe the simpler format will be easier to understand. You can find the policy on our website through this
link.
School supply lists have been posted on our website for all grade levels. Use this
link
to find them.
This is a reminder that all students planning to participate in athletics must get an updated athletic physical each year. Physicals are only considered current for 13 months. You can find the form to be completed
HERE
. Athletic physicals may be completed by your pediatrician, at walk-in clinics, or at various pharmacies.

Summer Reading: If your student has not begun their summer reading, they should start now. We have just 4 ½ weeks until the first day of school. A link to the summer reading program for Grades 1-8 can be found
here.
Medical Form requirements: It is not too early for your student who will start kindergarten, second, or sixth grade next fall to have the examinations and receive the immunizations that are required by the State of Illinois when they enter these grades.
All examinations need to be reported on the state forms. Please bring completed forms with you to registration in August. Forms must be submitted by the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year. Please contact the office if you have any questions.
PRE-SCHOOL and JR. KINDERGARTEN-

health examination and to present proof of having received immunizations upon a first enrollment in a Pre-school or Jr. Kindergarten program.

Join us for GLOW— informal, outdoor summer worship on Wednesday evenings at Grace
|
During the summer, we gather each Wednesday evening for GLOW — Grace Lutheran On Wednesday. Come as you are and join us outside the Bonnie Brae doors, or in the atrium if it's raining.
- Ice cream sundaes at 6:30pm.
- Cross+Gen worship at 7 pm, with FAITH5, songs of praise, scripture, and a message. We conclude by 7:30pm.
- Bring chairs or blankets to sit on, if you like.
Bring the whole family, invite some friends, or come on your own. All are welcome as Jesus invites us to share our light with one another.
On July 31, consider coming to GLOW, then taking the kids home as you head off to meet other parents at District Brew Yards!
