Our mission at Grace Lutheran Church and School is to bring in, build up, and send out disciples for Jesus Christ. Our school prepares children for a life of discipleship by helping them to grow in faith, knowledge, and character.
Welcome to the 2020-21 school year at Grace Lutheran School. We are almost there. Final preparations are being made. We will be ready to go on Tuesday in Grades 1-8. We are excited and look forward to a great year together. It will be a year of adjustments all along the way. But in every situation, we have and will continue to make decisions with the health and safety of our students and faculty as our top priority.
As it says in the statement above, our school prepares children for a life of discipleship by helping them to grow in faith, knowledge, and character. We will continue to achieve this mission through our work together in Christ. I look forward to beginning this school year in partnership with all of you.

Supply drop-off and Classroom Visit Day: On Monday, from 3:00-4:30 and 5:30-7:00 students in Grades 1-8 will be able to drop-off supplies in their classroom and visit with their teachers. This is being done in 15 minute intervals through a
Sign-up Genius link to avoid having too many people in the classroom at one time. One adult may accompany a student to avoid too many people in the building at one time. Students in PK-SK will drop off supplies when they visit their classroom on Tuesday or Wednesday. Students who are remote learning to begin the year also need to
reserve a time to come on Monday to pick up books and technology. Students may bring supplies on the first day of school, but parents will not be allowed into the building on Tuesday.
Drop-off and Pick-up Procedures: We will be using a drive through line for both morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up this year. Check out the video links at the bottom of this email for an explanation of how this will work. Families with students in 6th-8th grade only may park in the lot at Priory Park and give permission for their student to walk across the street at the end of the day. If a 6tt – 8th grader has a younger sibling, you will need to use the drive through line for pick-up after school.
First Day of School: On Tuesday, students in Grades 1-8 begin school. The first day ends at 11:30 and there is no extended day care provided on that day. Students in Grades PK, JK, and SK begin on Thursday.
Remote Learning Wednesdays: Remote Learning Wednesdays begin on September 2nd. We will have school in our building on Wednesday next week.
Dress Code: You can find the dress code for this school year at this
link. There has been a change to the dress code for 5
th – 8
th grade students since these students will not be changing in the locker room for PE classes this year.
GLS Masks: The Grace Lutheran School face masks have arrived. Those that have ordered masks may pay for them and pick them up from Mrs. Maggio on Monday during Supply Drop-off and Classroom Visit hours. Extra masks are $6 each and will be available on a first come-first served basis.
Forgotten books or lunches: If you bring a student book or lunch that was forgotten at home, you will need to put it in the bin outside of the front doors. The front desk receptionist will then collect it and get it to your student.
