Zion’s School mission is “Teaching Christ and Serving Families.” The school shares Christ by teaching students about Christ and changes lives by serving the school families.
Our vision is that all students will experience God’s love and forgiveness and learn to show that same forgiveness to others. Students will be safe, responsible, and respectful to themselves and others, and achieve academically to the best of their ability.

Dear Zion Families,
We pray that you and your family are healthy and happy. As you may be aware, Governor Newsom and the California Department of Health announced changes to the mask requirement for K-12 school settings.
It was announced that after 11:59 p.m. on Friday, March 11, 2022, masking for students in indoor K-12 school settings will shift from required to strongly recommended irrespective of vaccine status. In accordance with this announcement, Zion Lutheran School will align its protocols accordingly, which will allow parents a choice when it comes to their child masking on campus beginning Monday, March 14, 2022.
We appreciate your continued patience and support as we work hard to create a safe and healthy environment for learning at Zion Lutheran School in accordance with guidance and requirements from CDPH.

Covid-19
Both are local labs that rely on FedEx for shipping and delivery but have been able to meet a turnaround time of 24-28 hours for both delivering a kit and resulting.
The USPS is also offering self-collection tests at no cost:
Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order four (4) free at-home COVID-19 tests. The tests are completely free, and orders will usually ship in 7-12 days.
Order your tests now, so you have them when you need them.
An important tool to prevent the spread of coronavirus is to practice good hygiene. Important public health prevention messages include:
- Stay home when you are sick
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
- Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue, and then dispose of the tissue and clean your hands immediately
- Limit close contact with people who are sick, and avoid sharing food, drinks, or utensils.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipes.
If your child is absent please report the absence on the Zion School App.

As part of our Confirmation program within our Christian Faith and Life class, the students are asked to participate in the church services by signing up to serve as an acolyte. As an acolyte, the students will serve by lighting the candles for the Sunday worship service and extinguishing the candles after the service. Students are asked to sign up for two Sundays during the whole school year to assist with the 8:30 AM worship service at Zion Lutheran Church. The students were instructed on the procedures during class time. On your chosen Sunday(s), we ask that you arrive by 8:00 AM in order to prepare for the service. |
