Celebrate 100 Days of School

Report Card/Enrollment Information/St. Paul Member Covenant Letter

Please check your students’ backpacks for important information traveling home today. Report Cards will be available for all students. Enrollment Information will be sent home with the oldest student in the family. St. Paul Member Covenant update letter from Pastor Matyas will be sent home with the oldest student in the family for St. Paul School Families who receive Member Tuition.

Enrollment Information

Look for enrollment paperwork being sent home today. Starting February 1, St. Paul congregation members will be able to enroll for the 2023-2024 school year. Enrollment will open to all current families on February 15, and to the community on March 1, 2022. A $75 preschool enrollment fee and a $50 grade school enrollment fee (per child) will reserve your child’s spot for next year. As you may notice, there will be an increase in tuition and extended care costs. Once enrollment opens to current families and the community, classes will fill on a first come, first served basis.

Vision Screening

The Bay County Health Department will be here on January 31 to conduct eye exams for grades 1, 3, 5 & 7. If you would like to opt your child out from the eye exam we will need a note, either written or emailed to office@stpaulbaycity.org
