As mentioned previously, for a more efficient enrollment process this year we are automatically re-enrolling current kindergarten to 7th grade students for the upcoming 2021-22 school year. This week, parents should have received a notice from TADS regarding the registration fee that will be auto-deducted on February 1 to hold your student’s place for next school year. If you have questions or concerns about the registration fee, please contact our Director of Finance, Carrie Duesenberg, at cduesenberg@ccls-stlouis.org. On February 1, parents will receive an email explaining the checklist of nexts steps in the enrollment process, including information on financial aid, to ensure that you are all set for next school year.
I am pleased that we have a number of 5-7th grade students who have registered to take part in the Civic Character Project. If you were unable to attend the Zoom informational meeting last week, you can watch a video recording that explains the project and potential for scholarship awards. After watching the video, please let me know if you have any questions. The deadline to register for this project is January 31.
Have a great weekend in the Lord!

Executive Director

Lutheran Schools Week is Next Week! |
|
January 24–29th is National Lutheran Schools week. The theme this year is "Sent to Serve". Each day has a theme of its own, and we have special dress days that everyone (ECE-8th grade) can participate in! K-8 students may choose to wear their school uniforms or items with the special theme in mind. Here is what the week will look like:

|
During Lutheran Schools Week, we will be gathering items for our service project of making Senior Care Bags.
Each elementary student is asked to bring in six items from this list (remembering that with multi-pack items, count the individual items, i.e. a box of granola bars (6 or more) counts as 6 items). This is optional for middle school students, but if you choose to participate items will need to be turned in by Monday, January 25 to ensure they make it over to the elementary campus and into the bags on time!
- tea or instant coffee (several tea bags or single serve coffee bags in a small ziploc bag)
- single serve applesauce, fruit cups or pudding
- granola bars, cereal bars
- individual snack bags of pretzels, cheez-its
- microwave popcorn
- peanut butter cracker packets
- small bags of trail mix, dried fruit or nuts
Items may be brought to school at any time starting as early as Monday. Thank you for your help with this project.

- Please keep all CCLS students home if anyone in your family is getting tested for COVID-19.
- When in doubt, please keep your child home if they have any symptoms or known exposure as sending your child may put an entire class as risk of having to quarantine.
Thank you for your help in keeping as many kids as possible in school while mitigating COVID risk.
