ENROLLMENT
 
If you are interested in enrolling in the school please do not hesitate to call the school office or stop by for a visit. Registration for the 2007-2008 school year is now being accepted.

Trinity Lutheran School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, and athletic and other school administered programs.

Enrollment at Trinity is on an annual basis. An application for enrollment must be filed each year, signed by both parents/guardians and accompanied by the registration fee. The registration fee is non-refundable. Application for enrollment does not constitute acceptance. The Christian Day School Board will endeavor to provide room for all of Trinity's member children interested in enrolling who are not currently attending. In order to accomplish this goal, the following procedures will be used:

1. Application forms are made available in the late winter.

2. Trinity member families must enroll by the date set and published in church and school newsletters to be eligible for priority admittance. After the set date, Trinity member children will be accepted by date of application as room permits.

Other criteria for admission:
1. All applications are to be submitted to the school office.

2. Applicant parents/guardians and pupil meet with the principal.

3. The child's prospective teacher may interview and/or test the child and make a
recommendation for placement level.

4. Proof of immunizations required by the State of California Department of Health must be presented to the office within ten (10) days of enrollment or the student will not be allowed to attend classes until such proof is brought to the office. If parents do not wish their child immunized because of their personal beliefs or a doctor feels the child should not be immunized due to medical reasons a letter stating this fact must be given to the school to be put in the students permanent record.

5. No child in Grades 1-8 will be admitted whose records indicate previous disruptive behavior.

All new students are on probationary status for three months and until previous school records are received.

6. A child with special educational needs will be admitted by the Board only if it is felt that the problem can be handled by our regular staff and/or an approved tutor provided by the parents or guardians. Trinity Lutheran School is not equipped to handle most special education situations.

7. A child whose fifth birthday occurs on or before September 1st may enter Kindergarten in September of the same year.

8. A child whose sixth birthday occurs on or before September 1st may enter first grade
in September of the same year.

9. All pupils enrolling in Kindergarten and new students entering first grade must present a birth certificate as verification of age.

10. The Board acts upon principal and teacher recommendations.

11. Applicants are notified of the Board's action by the principal through telephone and/or letter.

12. Upon completion of all necessary forms and payment of the required fees, the child begins classes.

Pupils transferring to another school from Trinity may receive a copy of their records. Originals of the permanent records will be sent to the next school upon written request. A record of the transfer will be filed in Trinity’s master record along with copies of original documents.

Admission of pupils who have been expelled from another school will be determined after a complete evaluation by the Board whose decision will be final.

RE-ENROLLMENT
The Christian Day School Board, with the principal's recommendation, will use any or all of the following criteria as a tool for evaluating the re-enrollment applications of both members and nonmembers:

1. Regular family Church attendance.

2. Participation in Trinity Booster programs.

3. The discipline or behavior pattern of the student.

4. Academic progress of the child, based on the willingness of the child to work at learning and the ability of the school to meet the child's academic needs.

5. The relationship that exists between home and the school, shown by the support of the school and its values by the home.

6. The child's attendance pattern, and the reason for being absent.

7. The full payment of prior year financial obligations.

TUITION FEES
The operating costs of Trinity Lutheran School are covered exclusively from the registration and tuition fees paid by the parents and the financial support of the church.
Parents who are members of Trinity Lutheran Church pay a lower member rate.
