It is time to complete Enrollment for next school year. Enrollment to new families opens up in February. The links below provide lots of information regarding this process. If you have any further questions contact the school office or Jordan Easton at x263.

We have an Open House coming up on Sunday, January 31. Due to the pandemic, participants must register in advance because we need to limit the number of people in the building at any one time. If you know someone interested in Grace Lutheran School, direct them to our website for information on registering for the Open House, or let Jordan Easton know so that she can contact the family.

Firehouse Sub lunches resume Friday, February 5th. Click HERE to order lunch for your student(s). You will need to fill out a new form for each student. After submitting the google form there will be a link taking you directly to Grace’s online payment page. Please remember to pay using that link or with check or cash to Mrs. Maggio. If you have any questions, please contact Joanna Schubkegel jschub@mac.com or the school office. 

Please remember that all children in senior kindergarten, second and sixth grade must present proof of an examination by a dentist prior to May 15 of this school year; the examination must have been completed within 18 months prior to the May 15 deadline. Please make an appointment with a dentist in time to comply with this requirement.

The examination must be reported on the form developed by the Illinois Department of Public Health that is on the school website or here.

There will be no school on Friday, February 12. That will be a Professional Development day for faculty.

If at any point you are uncertain on a day, you can use the link below to check the daily online school calendar for this information.

There are still a few Grace 125th ornaments available. These beautiful ornaments commemorate Grace’s 125th year of school. Please reach out to Mrs. Maggio if you’re interested in purchasing one. Ornaments are $15.00 and available for pick-up at the school office.

If you had previously ordered an ornament, but have not yet picked it up, please do so as soon as possible.

Please join Principal Koehne and other parents for an update on the school and a chance to provide your input in a variety of areas. RSVP here for the meeting and to select your breakout group. See below for group information. (You can also RSVP and select your group at the last minute the night of the meeting at the same link). Questions? Contact GPO Co-Chairs Joanna Schubkegel or Alison Welch.
